Ok, this is the method my brother and I have used all our life.
Get a toothbrush and wet it. Put as much salt on it that it can hold. Scrub the area of your throat that is infected as hard and as much as you can without actually throwing up. Three times daily. Steam your head often.

Lie down and keep warm, take lots of fluids, wrap your neck with warm scarf or blanket, even around your head. The infection doesn't like heat. also a warm pack around nose or wherever it's worse. The vitamin C is good.Whatever you do never eat banana's with a sore throat, something in it makes it sting like you'd never believe. The rest is important, as the muscles at rest help to get the antibodies going.

The doctor that my family uses is totally holistic. But with a bacterial infection which strep is you need an antibiotic. Take probiotic it will puts back good bacteria in the body. He also says to take vitamin C and Echinasia.

Your antibiotics should kick in about 24 to 48 hours after the first dose. Take entire bottle. Taking natural cures for strep is like fighting The Terminator with a potato gun.

Megadose on vitamin C and B, drink warm teas, and watch something like cartoons or your favorite comedy. Play environmental music, if you're way tired and want to nap.

if you are on antibodicts, i think you should start feeling better probably on 3rd day or so. just lie down and sleep it off as well. you probably also have fever too. lots of fluids. take some advil/tynelo too.

did you try taking some ibproferin. it helps with the pain but also relieves swelling that casues the pain. call you doctor for the maximum mg you can take. It should help you.

This doesn't sound to good. You need some antibiotics, because garlic alone won't kill the spread.
