Question:
I have strepp throat, what should I do? (Details)?
I heard that takking antibiotics too soon will weaken your immune system, but I also heard that your body can't heal the tonsils by itself.
I've had the strepp throat and a fever for about 3-4 days now. The fever has been on and off.
Should I take antibiotics?
Answers:
When there is a fever involved, YES you need antibiotics. Also taking motrin will help along with gargling with warm, salt water every half hour or so.
You can drink hot tea with honey in it to soothe the throat also.
Drink plenty of fluids and gargle. By all means, go to the doctor and get on an antibiotic.
