Strept Throat?
Question:
Answers:
I'm sure doc gave you medicine, penicillin that is. Usually after a few days you will start to feel better. I used to get Strep a lot when I was a kid. My doc had me gargle with salt water three or four times a day. The salt helps ease the pain as well as heal the throat too. Cold is good, cold drinks, popcicles, or even ice cream. Lots of rest is always good for being so sick with Strep. Keep taking your medicine and maybe try some of these remedies that I gave you. You will feel better soon.
It is really awful. I have had it 6 or 7 times. I was always prescribed antibiotics. Just try to rest and take some tylenol for the fever. My fever was very high when I had it, I just felt altogether weak and miserable. It does not take that long to feel better, a couple of days. Just take it easy, I hope you feel better soon, sweetie.
You didn't mentioned if your doctor prescribed some medicine for your strept throat.If so then continue to take that medicine until you see some results.Try to gargle with warm salt water or may be if you can get Alum powder in your area then gargle with it warm water too.Make sure you gargle it well for long time and it's reaching to deep inside of your throat.Do it atleast 3 times a day.Good Luck.
P.S.Don't eat any creamy and (sticky glue like stuff) like some dairy products including Ice creams made with caramels and fudge.They are curl pits most of the time that people will never think of it.
No this isnt normal: when u have strep throat yes your throat hurts really bad but the ears and stuff shouldnt and your lymph nodes should be swollen which is what they are. did the doc give u any sort of inflammation pills when he gave u the antibiotics and also there is a shot out now for strep and it decreases the longevity for strep but u need to have it checked and see what else is going on and make sure u dont have a massive ear nose and throat infection going on. i hope this helps and take care...
Fix this mixture:
1/4 c Apple Cider Vinegar (must be Apple Cider Vinegar)
1/3 c honey
Mix it together until the honey is liquified.
Pour 1/2 inch into a glass and add water.
Gargle with it several times a day. In 48 hrs your strep throat will be gone. This will not interfere with the medication the dr. gave you and you will heal faster.
Strep throat can be very painful and make you feel miserable...it often has a worse effect the older you are. I used to get it when I was a child and never knew it, but I got it last year and felt like I was dying. Keep drinking the cold stuff...also, try some Halls lozenges to keep your throat from getting dry. It should take about 3 days after taking the antibiotic to REALLY start feeling better, but you will. Your swollen glands will subside and the pain will go away. As for the body/headaches, try advil or excedrin. Hope you feel better soon!
