Strep throat
    #8058938 - 02/23/08 12:26 AM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Anyone know any cures that actually work?
I've had it for a week now. I was taking prescription antibiotics that didn't do anything.:crankey:

Pound back as much vitamin C as possible, drink a lot of ginger/honey/lemon/garlic/peppermint/cayenne tea and rest! Myrrh and goldenseal are both pretty good streptococcus killers.

Did you finish your antibiotics? They won't work unless you take them for the full time you're supposed to, and if you don't you'll build up a tolerance to them and they won't work next time.

The doctor told me I had strep throat when it was actually a peritonsillar abscess. And if you have that.. that pain never lessens, only increases. needless to say he isn't my doctor anymore

You sure its strep throat?

I took them exactly as directed, same time every day and never missed a day.

That fucking sucks. I have all the symptoms and I have a good doctor that I have known for 10 years, I trust him with my life.

Shitty. :sad: Like someone else said, drink lots of ginger/honey/mint/lemon tea and rest lots. Have you had strep throat many times before?

I've had chronic throat infections for the last 10 years or so and at the beginning  I was told it was just strep throat (and it's often similar to strep throat), but since I've taken the regular antibiotics for strep throat too many times they just don't work anymore, so I have to take higher doses now.

Also, your antibiotics were only for a week? I've always taken the liquid ones, but I've usually had to take them for more like two weeks. Weird.

Anyways, I hope you don't take this to mean antibiotics are the only way--I think they're seriously overused and if you can avoid taking them, by all means do, but they are incredibly helpful sometimes, and perhaps trying again would help you.
