A member asked:
I know strep throat is supposed to go away in 3-7 days with or without medicine, but if it doesn't go away, can it turn into something worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It needs antbiotics: Strep throat requires antibiotic treatment. Complications can include infection of middle ear, sinuses, tonsils, skin & blood; scarlet fever, inflammation of the kidney (glomerulonephritis) & eventually rheumatic fever.
