Strep has dead give-away white spots on the back of your throat most of the time. In addition, a lot of that stuff is viral (if it isn’t strep, which is bacterial), in which case antibiotics don’t do squat.
Fullness in ears? Swollen glands? Fever?
Strep usually doesn’t have the other symptoms of cold with it, either. From what I can remember from school. I’d have to get out some books on it because I don’t deal with that stuff anymore.

EDIT: just saw link posted above. That about sums it from what I remember.

He said other than the sore throat he feels fine, which is what made me think strep. He didn’t mention swollen glands or anything. Anyway, best bet is to go see a doc or nurse practitioner and they will do a culture to test for it.
