Probably: I'm sure it probably will irritate things, but it won't slow the healing process. Get well soon!

Couple of questions: 1. Either you have strep throat or you do not. Did they do a rapid Strep test or send off a throat culture? 2. Why are you at work.? When you are sick you need to stay home and rest. Do not spread infections at the office. 3. You may want to rest that irritated sick throat. Yes talking all day on the phone can irritate the throat especially when you already have Strep throat.
