If it's really Strep, you need to see a doctor for antibiotics.
In the meantime, Chloraseptic Spray can really help. But I've had just as much luck with hot salt water gargles. A small amount of salt - less than a teaspoon - in a glass of hot water. Gargle 3 to 4 times a day.
Also, hot tea with honey can help.
But do see a doc as soon as you can if the sore throat doesn't go away.
Take care and get plenty of rest.

Sore throat is usually due to a viral infection. Gargling with warm salty water or mouthwash can reduce the pain and inconvenience. You can find some good home remedies at http://ailments.in/sorethroat.html

Gargle with salt water. It's disgusting but it does help some. Drink hot beverages such as tea and even steaming can help. (Steaming- heat water, put it into a bowl and then place a towel over your your head and the bowl and breath the steam. This may help releive some pain). Your doctor can prescribe a novacaine garggle that can help with the pain some.

My middle sister referred to as immediately, and informed me that my older brother has Alzheimer's and is going to be institutionalized. Charlie and that i been estranged considering the fact that early existence, some thing we renewed approximately ten years in the past. some thing in my lizard concepts desires to be satisfied that he's suffering, and concurrently i've got self assurance to blame for having that impulse. the only sturdy memory I truthfully have of Charlie is while we've been infants and for Christmas we offered one yet another plastic cannons which shot wood shells. We used them to shoot the glass balls off the Christmas tree. My father had a manner of exclaiming "Merry Christmas" that made it sound like he had only cursed you. It felt like Dad had come domicile lower back.

Humidifier. Or sit in the bathroom with a hot shower running so it fogs up the bathroom. Drink tea with honey in it.

Strep can only be cured by antibiotics so if you think you have it you need to go get tested as it is contagious and you don't want to accidently give it to someone else.
