Answers:
Make sure you take ALL of yor medicine and take it when you are suposed to- dont miss a dose!.

If you start feeling better take it anyway!. Strep is a bacteria and the amoxicillin will cure it!. About 10 days of anti biotics will do the trick

Drink lots of "gentle" fluids!. Apple juice, hot tea-not to hot though- with honey, chicken broth, ginger ale!. Food probably wont taste or even sound good but drink lots of fluids to keep hydrated!.

Rest when you can and take short naps when you are able!. Strep isnt fun!.!.!.I have been there myself!. You can still feel run down long after your strep is actually gone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to go to the doctor after Memorial Day weekend, but for now drink some tea with a teaspoon of honey and a teaspoon of lemon juice in hot water!. All you can do is try to avoid the pain and discomfort!. maybe get some lozenges!? I really don't think there's anything else for you to do!. Just wait it out til the holiday weekend is over!. I feel your pain!.!.!. but I needed to go to the ER yesterday for it!. Freaking memorial day weekend!.!.!. whatever!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to take the full course of amoxicillian or you are more likely to develop an intolerance to amoxicillian or even allergy to it!. And it takes a temperature of 103 degrees + to kill strep throat!. So a cool rag to the forhead and a warm rag around the throat will speed up recovery!. The cool rag is to keep your brain from overheating and suffering brain damage from too high a fever!. With proper care and management you will recover!. God bless you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had strep once!. The doctors offer you two methods to cure it: Either take a pill for ten days like 3 times a day or get a shot in the butt!. Eat foods like yogurt and mashed potatoes!. Soft stuff!. No citric acid like grapefruit or some lemonade, itll sting really bad!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have had strep throat a lot and the best foods to eat are like soup, chili, etc!. What you don't want to eat is anything that is crunchy or hard!. The best things to drink would be milkshakes or tea!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

take the meds as prescribed and follow up with your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Okay I'm going to tell you everything I know as a nurse about 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 - your should be well within a couple days


How Does Strep Throat Spread!?
--------------------------------------!.!.!.
Anybody can get strep throat, but it's most common in school-age kids and teens!. It occurs most often during the school year when big groups of kids and teens are in close quarters!.

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!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
