Zpack for strep, when will i feel better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Less thana week: Antibiotics aren't very effective at shortening the course of strep throat. They're given mainly to prevent some uncommon complications, such as rheumatic fever or kidney complications. The symptoms almost always go away within a week whether you take antibiotics or not.
