Answer 1

go to the doctor....you need to see a doc, ***** slap your mom

Answer 2

Well you need anti-botics for your throat. The only way to get them is a doctor visit. I can't believe your mom won't take you to the doctor. Strep can lead to other harsh health problems you infection can create dehydration, destroy tonsils, and may even cause death.
I have strep right now and I have NO white bumps. But my throat is red. They'll put you on some medicine that's right for you and can cure your strep. That will make the pain go away in 1 or 2 days. If you want to eat faster, tell the doctor some issues your having like the pain and how you can't drink or eat. The doctor may be able to help you. The best thing is to see a doctor, or a second choice is to take some pain relieving medicine like advil, tylenol or ibuprofen.
An old fashion remedy that my grandma has me do for sore throught pain. Is to gargle with peroxide. But don't swallow it. Spit it out after a couple seconds. Or use throught spray, cough drops. And using a warm wash rag setting on your throught may help relieve the pain. If it contines on past two days I would see a doctor. Good Luck.
gargle with salt and peroxide each by itself ... make sure u warm the salt water up real warm .... 3-4 times a day.... dont eat n.e thing... eating makes things worser.. and try not to talk much it just makes thing worser...... try to get some antibiotics too

Do you have a fever? That is also a sign of strep. Keep checking it to see if there are any white pockets on your tonsils. If you don't start to feel better in a week, then you need to get to the doctor. The only way to treat strep throat, is antibiotics. If left untreated it can be fatal as the strep can go to your heart. So if you don't start feeling any better, you need to go to the doctor, especially if you have a fever. Gargle salt water. eat some hot soup. Hope you feel better soon hun.

Answer 6

Why won't your Mom take you to see a doctor? You need to get on antibiotics to fight the infection.

There's plenty you can do to help your child feel better. To prevent dehydration, make sure your child drinks plenty of cool liquids, such as water or ginger ale, especially if he or she has had a fever. Avoid orange juice, grapefruit juice, lemonade, or other acidic beverages, which may irritate your child's throat. Warm liquids like soups, sweetened tea, or hot chocolate can be soothing.

Answer 8

Try to get your mom to take you to the doctor or call the doctor so he can prescribe an antibiotic. If its strep, pharyngitis, or tonsillitis, the doctor's going to need to swab your throat to find out. Good Luck!

Answer 9

My mom always says to gargle salt water with sage in it. It kills the bacteria. And salt does work for sure. But you really should see a doctor.

your mom needs to take you to the doctor..if it is strep and it goes untreated it is possible that it could move to the fluid around your heart and cause death, talk to her. get antibiotics. that will help alot. eat soup until then. i know how it feels i just had it. BUT GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!
