How can I treat strepp throat naturally?

Question:

Answers:
You should really see your doctor first, not only to make sure what you have is strep, but also to see if you might need antibiotics.
There are many ways that you can make yourself feel better while you are waiting for the strep infection to go away.

Drink plenty of fluids and increase humidity (moisture in the air) in your home to help keep your throat moist. Herbal teas formulated for colds may help relieve symptoms.
Take nonprescription medications to relieve a painful sore throat and reduce fever.
Get plenty of rest. Stay home the first day of antibiotic treatment. You are still contagious and might pass the infection to others. Rest in bed if you feel very sick. Bed rest is not required if you feel fine.
For the first 24 to 48 hours after you start taking an antibiotic, you are still contagious. You can avoid passing the strep throat infection to others and reinfecting yourself by:

Avoiding sneezing or coughing on others.
Washing your hands often.
Using tissues you can throw away, not handkerchiefs.
Throwing out your toothbrush as soon as you feel sick. Replace it again when you are well. You can also clean your toothbrush well before using it again. Bacteria can collect on the bristles and reinfect you.

Other Answers:
You should see a doctor to make sure it is actually strep throat. Once it is officially diagnosed you need to take special precautions because an untreated strep infection can cause heart problems later in life. Be careful using natural treatments for this problem (I am a natural health care provider so I am all for natural health treatments and believe antibiotics should be used as a last resort)

Make sure it is strep throat. See your doctor. If it is, take plenty of cough drops and rest. Drink lots of tea, lemon usually tastes the best!
