if its common cold/fever then nothing wrong with it. doctors are overpaid anyways. I know there are some pharmacies in india that ship online.

That's extremely risky.
Apparently you haven't been watching the news and investigative TV shows that prove most of the companies cannot be trusted. There's no way to tell *what* you're getting from them because they aren't regulated!
As for strep, in rare cases it can kill you. You should be checked out by a physician to be on the safe side. Sometimes it can go away on its own without anti-biotics but if you *know* that's what you have then you have had it before.
If strep is something you get a lot, then you definately need to be checked out. You may need to have a tonsillectomy at some point to prevent future infections.

Very risky. A reputable mail-order co will not sell you antibiotics w/o a written prescription or fax from a doctor.
if they say "no prescription" what assurance do you have thay they are not fake or inferior??
