No. At least wait and see if you get that tickle in your throat. But go ahead and waste money if you want too. Just eat a bunch of vitamin C and see if it goes away. Worst case scenario: you get strep throat anyway.

  Pleading the fifth...it went away. I had a nurse visit and a throat culture (free through my insurance) and there was no sign of the nasty streptoccocus bacteria.
