Strep Throat question?

Question: I have strep throat right now. I began feeling sick on Sat. night. How long is it before you stop being contagious (currently on 2nd day of antibiotics)? Also, can it worsen before it gets better? Anything else you think I should know?

*thanks!

Answers:
you shouldnt be very contagious if youve been on antibiotics for 2 days, however if you go around someone who has a very low immune system you could still give it to them, strep throat can get worse before it gets better.. you should feel better in 1 to 2 weeks... esp if the medicine makes you grogy... but if you eat cold things it wont hurt as much... and try not to talk because it can strain your vocal cords and cause perminant damage... hope you feel better though
