Can strep throat kill you?

Question

I might have strep throat I'm not sure, haven't went to the dr.'s but my mom says strep throat can kill a person. Is it true or is my mom just scaring me to go to the dr.'s!

Answer 1

Ur mom is just scaring you, but you should go to the doctor so you can get medicine, it may be nasty but you could spread strep throat to other people. And to infants or elderly people it CAN get serious

Answer 2

It can't kill you....pneumonia can.

Answer 3

I've had strep throat about 5 times.

I'm still alive.

Don't be scared, haha.
