                        I am not a doctor, I am someone that had Rheumatic Fever 12 years ago  I would have to say that I have never in my life, had a sore throat.  They informed me and my parents, that i was a "carrier". I do not   show symptoms, but that i carry the virus in my system. This may help a bit  I hope. But I do not have any other input.
