Go see the doctor. Strep is not something to mess around with. I have a friend who got strep from her kids and didnt go to the doctor right awat for antibiotics. She ended up losing her kidneys and going on dialysis. Eventually she got a transplant. But dang, what alot to go through. Her doctor told her it all could have been avoided by simple penicillin when she first had a sore throat.

Yes, your friend is right. I had an untreated case of Strep Throat as a child. Because it was left untreated I know have a serious heart ailment. You need to see a Doctor so he can determine if you do have Strep. If so, antibiotics is the only thing that will work....ALSO, with strep throat many times the tongue will turn a bright strawberry color and you'll have a fever.It will be very hard to swallow.

What I have found is that your throat will either be soothed by a warm substance or cold substance. One really good throat soother is warm tea with lemon juice and a lot of honey. Another good warm liquid, is jello (before it is put in the refrigerator to harden). If cold soothes your throat, try pudding (my favorite is tapioca). If your sore throat persists for a few days, it is probably bacterial or viral and remedies might not cut it. If that proves true, you might want to try some medicine. (I also prefer home remedies to meds) Hope that helped.

Go back to doctor. Had this myself Can prescribe for you an anesthetic that you gargle and it will get rid of 90% of the pain. Still hurts to swallow but it was the only way I could get a nights sleep. I really feel for you. I know it hurts just thinking about it.

when my throat hurts really bad. I usually boil water and add some lemon juice to it. After add a bunch of real honey. The honey helps alot with cough and a sore throat. Drink it as hot as you can. i hope you feel better.

Gargle with saltwater, it will help for awhile. You should see a doctor. If it is strep it could be serious.
