How do you treat strep throat?

In: Health, Conditions and Diseases, Strep Throat [Edit categories]

Answer:

The best way to help strep is to REST. The most active thing you should be doing with strep is getting up to go to the bathroom. Stay in bed, lay low. DO NOT GO TO SCHOOL OR WORK. Otherwise your just a plain old idiot. I have strep right now. I'm on the mend fairly fast and the most active thing I did is go to the doctor's office. Drinking lots of fluids helps allot too. I know it hurts to swallow but you be suffering in pain for allot longer if you don't drink. Ibuprofen helps too but don't take it too frequently or else you have high chances of internally bleeding. Smoothies really sooth your throat but only while your drinking them. I have been living on smoothies. take my advice and you'll get better quickly!
