Answers:
If there is lot's of white stuff on your tonsils it is probably strep!. If not more likely viral!.

Either way a sore throat that does not develop symptoms like congestion, cough, etc should be screened for strep throat!.

In the mean time drink plenty of fluids, get rest and tell people to be nice to you!

You can also do warm salt water gargles to kill back the bacteria!.

Strep throat will maybe respond to gargling with hydrogen peroxide but be careful not to swallow it! Strep is catalase positive so hydrogen peroxide will kill it and make the sore throat less severe, however you should still get on a course of antibiotics if it is indeed strep!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

natural helper, i don't know how to contact you so i'll put this here!.

strep is Catalase negative NOT POSITIVE in fact one of the tests to seperate staph from strep is the catalase test where strep is negative!.
