Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Hey guys, so I have had strep since Tuesday and nothing seems to be working to help with the pain. I am calling the docs today to get a different antibiotic. I have tried, cold drinks, gargling warm salt water, ice cream, popsicles, gargling a numbing rinse. Nothing seems to help provide enough relief. Any ideas?
LewPort71 Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Try gargling with HOT salt water. Make the water as 'salty' as possible. Good luck. 1
Soda Popinski Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 This may not work for you but it did when i was in high school. I sprayed binaca directly on my tonsils. It burned, and my throat was dry for an entire day but i felt better the next day.

Heavy Kevi Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Reefer edibles. Won't solve the problem, but can ease the symptoms and you may forget you had a problem for a while.

dpberr Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 If you have drainage, you could ease the symptoms by turning off that spicket. I'd try fexofenadine (Allegra) without the pseudophedrine in it.
Cripple Creek Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 You have rabbits, right? Collect enough rabbit urine to soak an ace bandage. After a good soak sprinkle it liberally with powered mustard seed and chili powder in a 50/50 mix. Once a good paste develops on the bandage have someone secure it around your neck as tightly as possible. Wear it for 3.5 hours and a sore throat will be the least of your problems, guaranteed.
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 I thought strep lies in everyone's body... It just becomes unlocked and ends up in various parts of the body that could cause problems, major problems. I read that one of the causes of heart valve failure later in life is from untreated strep years before. Treat it with a doctor... We're not doctors. But of course you are doing that. Don't make the symptoms go away with some home bs. Yet, we are in an era where antibiotics are getting ineffective. Sad... It's like the 1930s all over again. The more we change, the more we go back in so many ways. Good luck! Get to the doctor ASAP and don't bully them in stronger than you need... They should know best.

Mostly, though...see your doctor again. Strep untreated can cause heart problems. It's no joke. Honey won't hurt, and it may or may not help, but you need antibiotics. For the pain...Tylenol's your best bet.
row_33 Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 as one who seems to plummet from a sniffle to pneumonia in 48 hours, get to your doctor if you require bacterial meds....
