Sore throats are common—but when the pain is sharp, persistent, and comes with a fever, it could be more than just a cold. Strep throat, caused by the Streptococcus bacteria, requires prompt medical attention and antibiotics to avoid complications and shorten recovery. At Nadora Urgent Care in Greeley, we offer same-day testing and treatment for strep throat, with no appointment necessary.
How to Know if It’s Strep
Strep throat typically causes:
Sudden sore throat without a cough
Painful swallowing
Red, swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches
Fever
Swollen lymph nodes
Headache or body aches
Symptoms can appear quickly and escalate within a day. Because strep throat is contagious, early diagnosis and treatment are key to preventing spread—especially in schools, households, and workplaces.
Rapid Testing and Treatment On-Site
At Nadora, our providers will review your symptoms, perform a physical exam, and conduct a rapid strep test using a gentle throat swab. If the result is positive, we’ll prescribe a short course of antibiotics to fight the infection and reduce the risk of complications like rheumatic fever or tonsil abscesses.
We also provide:
Over-the-counter recommendations for pain and fever
Guidance on hydration, rest, and when to return to work or school
Treatment for children and adults
In most cases, symptoms improve within 24–48 hours of starting medication.
