I got the BCG vaccine as a child, like everyone else. My friend recently tested positive for TB, and I was in close contact with him. Does being vaccinated mean I'm completely protected, or can you still contract TB even after getting the vaccine?

Oh man, having a sore throat is the worst because it totally ruins my weekend food plans! And yes, you can actually get strep throat without any fever at all. I had it once and couldn't even swallow my favorite momos, even though my body temperature was completely normal.

Yes, strep throat without a fever is definitely possible, especially in adults. Don't assume it is just a normal cold just because you don't have a temperature. If your throat is highly sore and you see white spots in the back, go to a clinic and get a throat swab test done.

I totally get it, throat pain is so irritating and makes you feel so miserable even without a fever. Yes, you can have a bacterial strep infection without running a temperature. Please rest your voice, drink thoda warm water, and see a doctor if it doesn't get better in two days.

Haan na, everyone thinks fever is compulsory for throat infections, but actually it is not. My cousin had a super bad throat pain with no fever and it turned out to be strep. Just do some salt water gargles and consult a doctor if the pain is too much.
