Can there be any way to treat strep throat with out taking antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a good idea.: Improperly treated streph can lead to serious complications.For significant sore throat with swollen tonsils / lymph nodes – see physician & get a streph throat test. Consider tylenol (acetaminophen) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications. Saltwater gargles: mix 1 tsp salt in 8 oz warm water – gargle several times a day. Or gargle with aloe vera juice twice a day.
