That's probably a bad idea!. Go to a doctor!. I'm just getting rid of tonsillitis, which I thought was strep throat!. I have it for a few days but it just kept getting worse!. I even lost my voice for a few days!. I went to the hospital and the gave me meds to take, not even pills or anything just some liquid that actually didn't taste bad at all, after the 2nd or 3rd day of taking it my throat felt 100% better!.

If you don't get it treated it could take a very long time to get better!. Even up to a month, or longer!.

I know how painful it can be, don't suffer with it!. Just go to the doc, get some medicine, relax in bed for a few days, and drink lots of juice (no caffeine), also eat lots of ice pops!. :)

I hope that helps!. Good luck with everything!. I hope you get better soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The bacteria that cause strep throat tend to hang out in the nose and throat, so normal activities like sneezing, coughing, or shaking hands can easily spread the strep infection from one person to another!. That's why it's so important to teach your child the importance of hand washing - good hygiene can lessen your child's chances of getting contagious diseases like strep throat!.
Strep throat is an infection caused by group A streptococcus bacteria, and it's very common among kids and teens!. The symptoms of strep throat include fever, stomach pain, and red, swollen tonsils!.

Strep throat usually requires treatment with antibiotics!. With the proper medical care - along with plenty of rest and fluids - you should be back to yourself within a few daysWww@Answer-Health@Com

your body will eventually fight off the infection!. But if you don't take the antibiotics it can result in rheumatic fever which leads to rheumatic heart disease - a condition where your own immune system attacks your heart valves damaging then!.

if you then get rheumatic heart disease you risk getting infective endocarditis where bacteria attack your heart valves!. They can then throw off little "vegetations" that can end up in your kidneys (damaging them) or your brain (giving you a stroke or absess)or almost anywhere else in your body!.

you'll get over it without antibiotics in a week or two if you wanna risk all that!. or you can take the antibiotics and get over it in a few days!. up to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Strep throat will most likely not cure itself and is one of the rare exceptions where I go against the grain for my love of natural medicine and say YOU NEED ANTIBIOTICS!!!!

If you don't take antibiotics you can have heart valve damage from rheumatic heart disease and end up with mitral valve prolapse!. You can also have permanent kidney damage!.

You need to go to your dr or urgent care ASAP tomorrow!. In the mean time I would do some warm salt water gargles to help "lyse" explode the bacteria so the die back a bit!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Dude, I just got over it!! Milk man, drink you some milk!!

I got better after 5 days, and I was eating after 2 days!. Get you a big glass of whole milk and take a swig after each bite!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
