A member asked:

Can you tell me what number of days can you last with strep throat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Confusing question: The discomfort of true strep can gradually fade without treatment over several days to a week or so. The more serious complications of untreated disease (kidney, heart, brain) may show up as soon as 3 weeks or more than a month later.Treatment started within 10 days of first symptoms can stop the secondary complications from forming.
