I've had strep 3x in the last couple of months. just finished round of antibiotic a week ago and throat is hurting again. what can i do to wipe it out?

Recurrent strep: You may be a strep carrier. It may not be the strep that is the cause of your recurrent sore throats. Best to see an ENT provider to discuss your recurring sore throats, see if it truly is strep that is causing your repeated sore throats or perhaps something else. Can be a number of causes of recurrent sore throats even with positive throat swabs for strep. Hope this helps. Best of luck.
