Many good options: Serious depression is best treated by doctors, but exercise can help a great deal. Natural treatments like 5-HTP, SAMe, Rhodiola & the Meriva form of Curcumin are as helpful as most meds. Talking with friends, family or a pastor/minister can help. Meditation, healthy diet, B complex with the L-5-MTHF form of folate (folic acid) & a good multivit. can also help. Avoid artificial sweeteners. Try helping others!

Need Rx treatment: While there are some things you can do to ease symptoms, true strep throat requires a visit to your doctor for antibiotics. Untreated strep throat can lead to serious problems. Symptomatic care for throat pain includes: gargling with warm salt water, throat lozengers, throat spray (ie chloraseptic), popsicles/cold things and tylenol (acetaminophen). But again, please promptly see your doctor if you have strep!

Is it possible for pockmarks to be treated with home remedies?

Dr. Mike Bowman answered

Not effectively: If you have deep pockmarks (acne "ice pick" scars), you will not find much improvement from home remedies. Once your acne is under control, these scars can be addressed with a variety of techniques including peels, lasers, dermabrasion, etc. Seek a qualified facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist with experience in this area.
