Strep is a bacterial infection and other than over the counter medications to soothe a sore throat there isn't anything that will cure it,you have to go to the doctor and get antibiotics to make a strep infection go away.

no, strep is a bacterial infection that must be treated with antibiotics. Have you had a strep test from your doctor to confirm it's actually strep? if not, you need to do so. If it turns out to be viral, it'll have to run it's course, but you can treat the symptoms with over the counter medications.
strep is a very serious infection and can be very harmful if left untreated, see your doc asap.
