Can you take claritin (loratadine) d to get rid of strep throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Antibiotics are required to kill the bacteria that causes strep throat. Claritin-d might make you feel somewhat better, but it will not treat it. Untreated strep throat has the potential to have long term side effects.
