Question 8

hello, my son has strep throat and i wanted to treat it without antibiotics. he's 3 and were on our 4th day of strep and with natural treatment he has not gotten worse, or better. i have an appt. tomorrow morning with his pediatrician.

Accepted Answer

Since : Since it has been 4 days, you have probably seen his pediatrician by now.  Hopefully, he is on treatment.  Just for future reference, anyone with strep should be treated with antibiotics.

Even though 90% of people with a strep throat infection will get better on their own, 10% of those people (usually kids) will go on to develop rheumatic fever - a serious complication of strep.  40% of those folks will go on to have inflammation of the heart and permanent damage to the valves.  Luckily, we rarely see this anymore because most strep is treated with antibiotics before it gets to this point, but before antibiotics, this was a common occurance and many kids died.  For that reason, i cannot recommend "natural" treatments for strep since they put your child at risk for permanent and serious heart damage.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Lifestyle changes ..: Lifestyle changes that may help include aiming for a normal weight if you're underweight or overweight, stopping smoking, avoiding heavy alcohol use, and avoiding illegal drugs as well as prescription narcotic pain medications.
