    Strep throat

    I think I am getting it. I have never had it before, so I don't know what to do.

    I don't really want to go to the doctor if I don't have to. Is there any good home remedies? I have heard to gargle salt water....I have heard sleep...drink liquids...don't know what else...

    Any advice would help. Thanks guys.

      Honestly the salt water works well for strep, especially if you are losing your voice. I'd also get blood work done to make sure you don't have mono.

        Yeah, whenever I have any physical ailments, I make sure to check OS for a remedy.

              Get to a doctor- you really want to nip this in the bud before it spreads. Strep bacteria are pretty aggressive.

                  Nothing like having a long Q-tip jammed down your throat to see if your sore throat is strep.

                          Watch the language. Did you not see the thread telling you not to write stuff like that. I say ban him.

                              It's the right move bro, you don't want to mess around with this. If its strep, they'll probably start you on penicillin. If not, you don't need to worry.
