Sick for weeks
About 2 weeks ago I had strep throat and was on antibiotics and it went away in about 4 days. a week later I had the stomach flu and had a fever, diarrhea, throwing up, chills and body pains. saw a doctor both times. currently, i am just getting over the flu that lasted for 6 days and my throat is starting to hurt again, the exact same throat pain and body pains I felt having strep throat. I cant see a doctor because its Christmas but is it possible to have strep again this soon after?
You seem to be suffering from viral upper respiratory tract infection which is a common type of throat infection in this season. You may need to take antibiotics, analgesics and antiseptic mouth gargle for few days for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
