الإجابة: C. Fever, no cough, tonsillar exudates, and tender anterior cervical lymphadenopathy
Group A strep pharyngitis follows the Centor criteria: fever, absence of cough, tonsillar exudates and tender anterior cervical lymphadenopathy. Options with cough, runny nose or hoarseness point to a viral pharyngitis/URTI.
