A member asked:
After swollen glands is gone how long for an inflamed and red throat to go away without antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Careful!: If you have strep throat, your symptoms will go away without antibiotics but you could get rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease if you don't take them. Get a throat culture to be sure! If you have strep, antibiotics help pretty fast and you'll feel better sooner, too.
