Throat????

Question

I am a carrier... meaning I alwayz(most the time)have strep throat! How do i make it fell better? What medicines?

Answer 1

Your first choice would be to have a tonsillectomy ( surgical removal of the tonsils). This would likely prevent recurrent attacks. The only medications I can think of to treat it would be antibiotics, but since you state that you pretty much always have it, you may have developed a resistance or tolerance to them. Have a chat with your physician and see what course he/she thinks would be appropriate. In the meantime, to settle down your discomfort, try sipping warm herbal teas sweetened with honey. Peppermint tea is a wonderful choice, as is chammomille. Rest your voice and limit talking. Keep your house, or at least the room you spend much of your time in well humidified. Laslty, drink plenty of fluids, to help wash out the infection, and eat only soft solid foods, such as puddings, jello, plain pasta, soups/broths, rice; you get the idea. Avoid things such as chips, pretzels, spicy foods, or anything that is hard or very salty. Good luck.

Answer 2

Your Dr. should be able to perscribe an antibiotic to knock that out of you. My son had the same thing - he was a carrier. Of course he had not symptoms, and it did not affect him until he got a cold or virus. Then we'd truck him into the Dr. and sure enough - he had strep. Well, his Dr. treated him w/ another antibiotic until he no longer tested positive.

Answer 3

Well, you can take all kinds of meds, but when i was getting strep every month on the month my e.n.t. dr. decided to take my tonsils out. I haven't had strep throat since!
