1. STREP IS CONTAGIOUS!! Don't get close to people, that includes your eating utensils and your toothbrush.
2.Mouth wash with Hydrogen Peroxide, it will help heal your throat and kill the pain. Do this 3 times and day and see if it is better or gone in 2 to 3 days, if not go to 3.
3.You may or may not need anti-biotics. But see your Dr.

It is caused by Group A Strep bacteria. You will need an antibiotic- but if you already know your diagnosis, you must have been to a doctor.

Its something i battle at least once a year for half my life. Its a bacteria that causes your throat to swell, it causes fever and it can only be cured through a Doctor visit and some antibiotic. Its also highly contagious.
