A member asked:

Will antibiotics relieve pain from strep throat/how long till i'm healthy?(taking amoxicillin for type b strep)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Odd statement: Group A strep is the throat germ, not B.B is a normal germ in the digestive tract that occasionally causes UTI's in women or sickness in newborns. Throat pain is a reflection of tissue damage and improves gradually,within a few days.Ibuprofen is an anti inflammatory that can give some relief as will throat lozenges/gargling.
