Strep….sick with anxiety.

Sorry if this threads all over the place I have extremely bad health anxiety.
Wednesday night/Thursday DD who’s 5 seemed to have a temp, flushed face, off certain foods and generally abit quiet. She did perk up after calpol. I did think it was her throat however found a big molar growing in her mouth.
Shes not had a temp since and hasn’t had any calpol/neurofen but is being abit finicky with food, alert, playing and seems generally okay. Not lethargic or anything.

Today I woke up and my throats sore, my tonsils are red and inflamed, heads sore and I’ve had a funny stuck sneeze feeling in my nose today. I feel COVID-y as I’ve also had stomach ache and abit of diarrhoea.
I dont have any white patches or swollen glands.

Im really worried. If this is strep will my DD be okay even though she’s had no antibiotics? Or am I best off going to the walk in centre with us both tomorrow. I am unsure whether I will need them anyway as I have very large tonsils already.

Sorry if I’m coming across as neurotic I have a lot going on at the minute and DD’s health seems to be something I get worked up on.

Yes for me sorry should’ve clarified.
I think the whole strep stuff in the news just put fear into me. I didn’t think it could disappear itself

That's alright I was just wondering, I hope you feel better soon.
