Question 1

Are there any solutions to cure a strep throat without seeing a doctor like with home remedies?

Accepted Answer

A strep throat will usually resolve in about 7 days even without antibiotic treatment but you then run the risk of developing the serious post -streptococcal sequella of glomerulonephritis or rheumatic fever.  To prevent this risk you must take a full 10 days of a penicillin antibiotic.  No home remedies will prevent this risk. Lozenges, cepacol throat spray and tylenol (acetaminophen) are symptomatic treatments.

for significant sore throat with swollen tonsils / lymph nodes –  see physician & get a streph throat test. Consider tylenol (acetaminophen) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications.

Question 4

Is there anyway to get rid of strep throat without going to a doctor for anitbiotics?

Accepted Answer

Strep throat absolutely must be treated with antibiotics.  Not only are antibiotics needed to clear the throat infection, but they are vital to the prevention of more serious complications that are potentially lethal.  Untreated strep can result in kidney inflammation and failure (post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis) or rheumatic fever which can seriously affect heart valves.

Question 5

What's the best way to treat strep throat without going to see a doctor?

Accepted Answer

I can't stress enough to see your/a doctor with this.  Sore throat, fever, and chills are symptoms.  Diagnosis is by throat culture, and this can be done in a walk-in clinic on the same day.  Treatment is with benzathine penicillin/penicillin x 10 days, and it is important to get it within 9 days of onset, before possible acute renal failure that can rarely happen with this disease.
