Strep throat: I recommend you go to the nearest Pharmacy and see if they think you will do OK with medicines on the counters. If the Pharmacists think you should go to a doctor first please do so!

Thank

It happens: Any infection that inflames your throat/tonsils can result in a little bloody debris. If you have tested positive for strep and are under treatment, that's all you need to do.If not, see a doc and get evaluated/treated.
