Is there any over the counter medines my boyfriend can take for strap throat he won't go to the doctor or can i ask my doctor medication him?

If it is really: strep for sure, he needs to see a doctor for antibiotics. Your doctor cannot by law treat any person without a previous good faith examination. It could just be a sore throat, and not strep, but only a doctor can tell for sure.
