The choir could always use another male tenor.
Who knows what you have and where it could drop.

Half a gallon of whiskey will cure it or atleast numb your throat so it doesn't hurt deep throating your boy friends cock.

Strep can lead to heart issues if untreated.

It can eat through your heart valve. I would treat it. I have a replacement mitral valve, not from strep. Not a fun surgery.

Gargle Listerine, but be sure to swallow a little bit. will clear it right up.

If it's strep throat, you need an antibiotic. Strep can cause kidney failure among other things. A girl I worked with died after two kidney transplants because of strep.

Do not stop after 2 days.

I have not been to the doctor for "sickness" since I graduated high school and my neurotic mother would insist I go whenever my sibs and I had the slightest fever.
Amazing I am still alive.
Unless you are have immune deficiencies related to your chronic illness (In this case, I am sorry that anyone has that) then just man up and take some DayQuil and go to work.
I don't think anyone should ever take medical advice from an Auburn fan....just saying.

Strep is bacterial. Go to a doctor instead of spreading that to people.

All the advice and panic in this thread - yet how do you know it's strep? You should consider a Dr visit to confirm in nothing else.
Fever? Has anyone looked for the characteristic spots in your throat?
You might be an intelligent, informed self diagnoser - but the average person could mistake allergy drip for strep.

Strep is one of the few times you actually need antibiotics.
Posted on 11/5/17 at 9:02 am to UFownstSECsince1950
I also know a guy that had to have a kidney transplant because he didn't go to the doctor for strep.

Find a family member with some penicillin, and take a couple, shite will clear up in a couple days, and no costly doctor visits for a sore throat.
Posted on 11/5/17 at 9:03 am to UFownstSECsince1950
Strep is a bacteria. Flu is a virus. A bacterial infection will need an antibiotic.

Go buy some Amoxicillin from your local pet store and save yourself $135.

Because we've legislated the lethality out of stupidity.

Go to a CVS minute clinic. They are a "doc in a box" specifically made for this kind of stuff. Takes like 30 minutes.
