Does drinking soda make your strep throat worse?

Question

That is what I drink, soda and water. I am just checking because I have strep and I want to heal as fast as possible. I am on Z-pack, 3rd day on it, still have the white bumps but no pain :) I want to make sure I get healthy quick. THanks for your help.

Answer 1

Yes, because the sugar feeds the bacteria. Healthy sweeteners are raw honey because they have natural enzymes to help fight bacteria.

Strep is a bacteria that is localized in your tonsils and throat so drink herba teas with raw honey.

Answer 2

It won't make it worse (I'm guessing that you would have to drink a *lot* of soda/sugary drinks to somehow "feed" the bacteria, but even that seems fairly impossible), but overall, nutrition will affect your immune system's ability to recuperate - and soda is nothing but empty calories. So, my advice? Switch to diet and try to cut down anyway, regardless of your strep.

Answer 3

Soda contains high amounts of sugar, and sugar can seriously harm your immune system... thus making it harder for you to recover from your strep throat. I would suggest that you cut out the soda completely. It is not good for you at all.
