I have strep throat i have been using amoxicillin & just took ibuprofen so the pain & swelling goes down. is there anything else that could help?

Symptomatic care: Gargling with a salty brine (spit it out) helps remove some of the dead tissue from the tonsils & can be helpful. Throat sprays & lozenges can provide symptomatic relief.
