The most common symptoms of strep throat include: Sore throat that can start very quickly, pain when swallowing, fever, red and swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches or streaks of pus, tiny, red spots on the roof of the mouth, swollen lymph nodes in the front of the neck. Once exposed to group A Strep it usually takes 2 to 5 days for someone to become ill.
