Strep Throat treatment with Aetna
With Aetna, you can request evaluation for strep throat with your chosen clinician. Your selected clinician's network participation, plan benefits and cost-sharing are reviewed by the care team.
About Strep Throat
Strep throat (group A streptococcal pharyngitis) presents with sudden sore throat, fever, swollen lymph nodes, and tonsillar exudate — usually without cough. The CENTOR or McIsaac score helps decide who to test. Clindle orders a rapid strep test or throat culture at a lab near you when symptoms fit, and prescribes penicillin VK or amoxicillin (or azithromycin for penicillin allergy) for confirmed cases. Untreated strep can cause rheumatic fever — that's why we treat it. Drooling, severe one-sided pain, or trouble breathing means in-person evaluation.
