Soup, broth or even warm milk would be good. Strep throat is a throat infection caused by streptococcus bacteria. It is characterized by sore throat, fever, and enlarged lymph nodes in the neck – symptoms are sore throat, fever, inflammation of the tonsils etc. 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 - You may choose to administer antibiotics as an extreme measure after consulting a doctor.

Hi,
I'm Dr Amy Roberts! I had Strep throat once but I was only 4 yr old....and if it is really serious...they might have to take her tonsils out of her mouth. So keep an eye on it OK?
I would say some soup
Or roses
Sometimes a cold beverage helps (ice cream)
I hope this helps! and God Bless you and your friend.
I hope she gets feeling better. :)

Maybe a hot tea or chicken noodle soup.
I hope she feels better.
