Strep.


Question Posted Sunday April 23 2006, 7:51 pm

I have strep throat, a pretty bad case of it too cause I waited a while before I got meds for it. I haven't eaten much in days simply because my throat hurts to bad to swollow anything more then my own spit. I've had countless bottles of water trying to sooth the pain and keep my throat moist however I'm still in great pain.
Is there a good drink ( besides like Tea, it's really sensitive to heat right now, I tried tea already) that will help sooth the pain enough so I can talk and eat temporarily? Thanks! :)

Oh yes..the pain is horrible. I have used sucrets or you can also get the chloroseptic throat spray to help with the pain. For now forget the hot liquids, other than gargling with warm salt water. Try sucking on ice chips which will help with the swelling and pain. Jello also works well because it can kind of slide down without much effort.

ok i made this when i had strep, and it really helped me... it sounds gross but it's not that bad at all.

pour water in a glass, and microwave for a few seconds to a minute to get it warm. then put a tablespoon or so of honey in it, and mix. lastly, squueze some lemon and mix it again. i didn't mind the taste, but even if i hated it, i would have drank it because it made my throat feel SOO good!

hope that helps! :) feel better soon!

I get strep at least once a year... try eating popsicles or freezies, cold feels amazing! Applesauce also works wonders.

Aw if you have strep, that would hurt really badly.
I'm sorry! i hope you feel better.
But some things that work pretty good, are cold drinks, because they numb it, smoothies, and shakes are usually pretty good.
If you've already gone to the doctor & got meds, then just drink alot of liquids (the cold kind) and just wait it out.. i know you gotta be patient to get better again.

hope i helped
feel better
