A member asked:
How long is it supposed to it take for strep throat to go away with medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rapid improvement.: A person usually feels much better 24 to 48 hours after starting antibiotics. They are usually not contagious after completing 24 hours of antibiotics. You still need to take the full course of antibiotics. Don't stop just because you are feeling better.
