Question
Does  strep throat create  nausea and dizziness to the point of falling

Answer
Hi Felicia,
These are the typical symptoms of strep throat. Symptoms appear suddenly and include sore throat, sometimes with chills, fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, a rapid heartbeat, and a general feeling of illness (malaise). The throat is beefy red, the tonsils are swollen, and the lymph nodes in the neck may be enlarged and tender. Cough, inflammation of the larynx (laryngitis), and a stuffy nose are uncommon in streptococcal infections; these symptoms suggest another cause, such as a cold or allergy. However, in children younger than 4 years, the only symptom may be a runny nose.
I suppose if symptoms are sevee enough a person can collapse.
Thank you for using Allexperts
