I had strep a lot when I was younger. I was so miserable because of it. Now I don't get it too often. I've fought off strep so much I think that I may be slightly immune to it by now. Just remember to drink some warm tea so you can sooth your throat. What may work is a bit of mint tea. Mint has some properties that act as a pain killer. Of course honey and lemon. What may also help to kill off anything is a mixture of garlic and honey. You take a teaspoon of that mixture and it can help kill anything bad in your system.

When you do take the mixture try to hold your nose. It's nasty but it worked for my cold. Garlic kills a lot of bacteria naturally and so does honey. Honey of course will sooth your throat. I hope this works for you.

Well yeah. But I have enlarged tonsils. Which makes it like 2 times worse then usual. So gah I do hope I get better soon. And this hurries up and blows over because I have ROTC practice this Monday and it usually takes me about a week to get over it. And I don't have a week. I just got it today.

Yes I had strep throat when I was pregnant with my frist child! That makes it even worse as alot of medications you can't take while you are pregnant! I have enlarged tonsils as it is so having strep throat is even more horrible than usual!

Yes you are very lucky. Well I never thought a bout the throat lozenges. But I am currently drinking Peppermint tea. But the things is I hate being sick and I will do anything to get better. And all thought my parents don't know about this. But sometimes when I'm sick I do a little more then I should on the medication. Not to get stoned or none of that but to help fight the virus so I can get better faster. So I'm hoping that helps this time to.
