Laryngitis can be caused by strep throat as having strep throat can lead to Laryngitis.

Most cases of strep throat are accompanied by a fever but it's possible to still have strep throat even without a fever.

Also any chronic hoarseness that lasts any longer than two weeks should be followed up by a doctor's visit to determine the cause and begin treatment.

Pharyngitis also can be viral or bacterial.

And a common cause of bacterial sore throat is group A Streptococcus, or strep throat.

It is possible to have strep throat without a fever.

Although fever is a common sign of strep throat and most people do have a fever with strep throat you can have strep throat without a fever.

I have had strep throat even without a fever so it's possible.

Not all cases of strep throat are accompanied with a fever.

Most cases of strep throat lasts for 5 to 7 days before the strep throat goes away on it's own.

You can help get rid of the strep throat sooner by going to the doctor and getting antibiotics for the strep throat.

When taking the antibiotics for the strep throat the strep throat usually goes away within a few days or so and it helps to ease the pain associated with strep throat as well.

Gargling with apple cider vinegar and even gargling with some warm salt water also helps to get rid of sore throat and eases it as well.

When I've had strep throat it went away within 7 days without any medical treatment or antibiotics but the second time I got strep throat I went to the doctor and got antibiotics and the strep throat then cleared up within 4 days.

I also gargled with some apple cider vinegar and even drank some warm apple cider vinegar mixed with a bit of hot tea.

The apple cider vinegar is antibacterial as well which can help kill the bacteria causing the strep throat.

If the strep throat gets worse or does not go away within a week or so then see a doctor about it as it might be more serious.
