Symptoms of strep throat usually begin within 2 to 5 days after coming in contact with someone who has a strep infection. Strep throat usually goes away in 3 to 7 days with or without antibiotic treatment. In contrast, if allergies or irritants are the cause of your sore throat, it will usually last longer unless the cause is eliminated.

If strep throat is not treated with antibiotics, you will continue to be contagious for 2 to 3 weeks even if your symptoms go away. You are much less contagious within 24 hours of starting antibiotics and are less likely to develop complications of the strep infection.

go to one of those CVS clinics, they should hook you up with what you need for that.

Not a good idea.

Well damnit.. I don't want to make anyone else sick.

I have insurance, I just don't like going to the Dr. I think too many people go for stupid shit like runny noses or hangnails. Plus, I know I could beat this. I'm a muh****in bulletproof tiger

I am seriously exhausted though

Sometimes manning up means taking care to take care of yourself. Strep is worth a doctor visit.

I get it, I just usually go with the wait a week or two and if it still hurts, then make an appointment. I plan on going to the Dr tomorrow though, I don't want to make any of my people sick.

I get it. I hate going to the doc too. Chances are if anyone at work is going to get sick from you they've already got it in them. You're most contagious in the beginning. Still need to take care of yourself though.

Gargle with hot salt water. Frequently. Drink tea (green, white, etc.) that is heavy in antioxidants. Take lots of C and E ... especially E.

Don't forget vitamin D and Turmeric. More help later this weekend.

Attaboy, thats a mans way of dealing with it. Keep some Colloidal silver on hand, that will kill it next time as well.
