Strep throat: The contagious period is over after being on antibiotics for 24 hours. Relief from the sore throat should come within 24 hours to 36 hours after you start taking antibiotics. You can also try throat lozenges, acetaminophen, or Ibuprofen and gargling with warm salt water to ease the pain for the first few hours.

Strep: Today is monday. By thursday your strep should be under control. Honesty is the best policy. Mention that you are under treatment for strep.
