Went to The Froedtert urgent care yesterday for fever (103.0) chills, headache and sore throat. I was absolutely miserable. MD looked at my throat and said “nah, doesn’t look like strep”. Tested me for the flu only, which was negative. Didn’t thinkt here was reason to check a strep since my throat didn’t look that bad. Told me it was probably just another virus. Went home and proceeded to have worsening symptoms and fever of 103.6. Just by looking in my own throat I could see my tonsils were red and swollen. Scheduled an appt with my PCP this morning and was diagnosed with strep throat. Staff was very nice, however, easy diagnosis that was unnecessarily missed causing a delay in treatment and time missed from work.
