It's miserable, but it could be worse. I had the flu with strep throat once. Just get plenty of rest, continue with the fluids and take the prescription medicines. It will pass. Some anceptamine will help with the pain. Hope you feel better soon.

some warm - not hot - tea with honey will help soothe your throat, and what about some of those throat sprays that supposedly numb the membranes? Strep is miserable, hope you're better soon!

Cepacol (OTC) is unsweetened and will help soothe your throat. Limit talking. It will rest your vocal cords. If you're doing as much as you say, keep on. Been there done that with the strep--not pleasant, but it'll pass...you won't!

Warm milk and honey will help coat your throat so it won't hurt so bad. I hope you get better soon, hon.
