Information on strep throat?

I would alternate between a couple doses of orange juice. And  then a small spoon of aloe vera gel with a bit of water swished in your mouth and swallowed down different sides of your throat. Keep repeating several times a day.  A good web source for remedies is www.webmd.com&#92;   Strep throat is basically a bad sore throat and that should help. But a doctors visit wouldn't hurt.

I was constantly in the doctor's for my tonsils. I had strep throat at least 4 or 5 times a year. After years of this I finally ended up in the hospital for a few days after developing sacs of puss called abscesses. It was NASTY. A month later I got them removed. I haven't had any problems since. I would definitely go to your doctor and at least have him/her look at them. It might be nothing, but you don't want it to become something real serious either. Good luck.

just drin kfluids and go to your doctar maybe its just not a cold maybeits a n infection.\nheres some info i got online read it its interesting \n\n\n\nincrease air moisture \npetroleum jelly on the skin under the nose to soothe rawness \nhard candy or cough drops to relieve sore throat (for kids older than 3 years) \na warm bath or heating pad to soothe aches and pains \nsteam from a hot shower to help your child breathe more easily \nBut what about chicken soup? There's no real proof that eating this soothing, warm concoction can cure a cold, but sick people have been swearing by it for more than 800 years. Why? Chicken soup contains a mucus-thinning amino acid called cysteine, and some research shows that chicken soup helps control congestion-causing white cells, called neutrophils.\n\nThe best plan, though, is not to worry about whether to "feed a cold" or "starve a fever." Just make sure your child eats when hungry and drinks plenty of fluids like water or juice to help replace the fluids lost during fever or mucus production. Avoid giving your child caffeinated beverages, though, which can cause frequent urination and, therefore, increase the risk of dehydration.\n\nWhen to Call Your Child's Doctor\nYour child's doctor won't be able to identify which specific virus is causing your child's cold symptoms, but can examine your child's throat and ears and take a throat culture to make sure the symptoms aren't from another condition that may need specific treatment. (If your child's symptoms get worse instead of better after 3 days or so, the problem could be strep throat, sinusitis, pneumonia, or bronchitis, especially if your child or teen smokes.) Taking a throat culture is a simple, painless procedure that involves brushing the inside of the throat with a long cotton swab. Examining the germs that stick to the swab will help the doctor determine whether your child has strep throat and needs treatment with antibiotics.\n\nIf symptoms last for more than a week, appear at the same time every year, or occur when your child is exposed to pollen, dust, animals, or another substance, your child could have an allergy. If your child has trouble breathing or wheezes when he or she catches a cold, your child could have asthma.\n\nYou should also see your child's doctor if you think your child might have more than a cold, or if he or she is getting worse instead of getting better.\n\nAlso call the doctor if your child has any of these symptoms:\n\ncoughing up a lot of mucus \nshortness of breath \nunusual lethargy/tiredness \ninability to keep food or liquids down or poor fluid intake \nincreasing headache or facial or throat pain \nseverely painful sore throat that interferes with swallowing \nfever of 103 degrees Fahrenheit (39.3 degrees Celsius) or higher, or a fever of 101 degrees Fahrenheit (38.0 degrees Celsius) or higher that lasts for more than a day \nchest or stomach pain \nswollen glands (lymph nodes) in the neck \nearache \nLike most virus infections, colds just have to run their course. Getting plenty of rest, avoiding vigorous activity, and drinking lots of fluids - juice, water, and noncaffeinated beverages - all may help your child feel better while on the mend.\n\nKeeping up regular activities like going to school probably won't make your child's cold any worse. But it will increase the likelihood that the cold will spread to classmates or friends. So you might want to put some daily routines aside until your child is feeling better.

Not possible. Strep throat must be taken care of with antibiotics. It is too serious of an infection to not provide proper treatment for. Left untreated, Strep can cause rheumatic fever and kidney disease. If you suspect you have strep, it's important to get to a doc ASAP.

Otitis media, although it depends on what the sore throat is being caused by. Many strains of strep and staph are antibiotic-resistant, and can cause serious conditions that, in turn, might lead to any of the others, although not immediately.

There's a variety:\n\nGargle with warm salt water,\nGargle with half water, half hydrogen peroxide\nTylenol or ibuprofen\n\nIf home remedies don't cure it, see your doctor--it could be an infection like strep.

It sounds like scarlet fever...you need to see a doctor. My son recently had this, and even though he had strep throat, he did not have a sore throat. Check out the link below to learn more about it. But a trip to the doctor will confirm.\n\nhttp://www.symptoms101.com/med/archives/2005/05/scarlet_fever_s.html

The streptococcus bacteria that causes strep throat can be spread to anywhere. There are strep infections of the skin. Someone I know actually had a strep infection of their anus. Impetigo is a strep infection around the mouth or nose. Trust me, strep can be contagious and spread. No guarantees that you are going to spread strep from a mouth to a penis, but there is always a possibility.

The symptoms of strep throat are a fever, sore throat, headache and sometimes queezy stomach. You can get a sandpaper feeling rash on your torso and this is the forst sign of scarlet fever caused by the strep virus. If you have a sore thoat and then start getting a runny nose or cough(cold symptoms), then you probably just have pharyngitis which is a sore throat associated with a cold virus. The only way to know for sure is a throat culture. Good luck!

Sugar and Sugar\n\nAs a kid I liked to eat sweets, all white sugar. As a result my immune system was down and I got severe tonsillitis, every year several times. Finally I learned that white sugar is not the best. It makes acid and causes a craving for more sugar, the sugar addiction. I changed to brown sugar, which makes alkaline. I never had tonsillitis again, well - unless I indulged in white sugar cakes at someone else's place! If you have a sweet tooth, you may want to try brown sugar, Yellow D sugar, evaporated cane juice, or white looking xylitol, or whatever the name. Organic sweets and candy bars nowadays contain natural sugar. Find out what suits you best (or should I say "sweets you best") and keep your pleasant voice!\nHope this helps. \n\nCordially, India.Magica

Streptococcal sore throat, also called strep throat, is an infection of the mucous membranes lining the pharynx. Strep throat is caused by bacteria. Sometimes the tonsils are also infected (tonsillitis). \n\nStrep throat accounts for between five and ten percent of all sore throats. Although anyone can get strep throat, it is most common in school age children. People who smoke, who are fatigued, run down, or who live in damp, crowded conditions are also more likely to become infected. Children under age two and adults who are not around children are less likely to get the disease. \n\nStrep throat occurs most frequently from November to April. \n\nHow is Strep Throat Transmitted?\n\nStrep Throat is transmitted directly from person to person by coughing, sneezing, and close contact. Very occasionally the disease is passed through food, when a food handler infected with strep throat accidentally contaminates food by coughing or sneezing. \n\nWhat causes Strep Throat?\n\nStrep Throat is caused by group A Streptococcus bacteria.

Strep doesn't always come with fever.  It's from sinus drainage down the back of your throat.  This is strictly from my DR Mom experience.  It's good you're going to a doctor.  They will do a culture to make sure and prescribe antibiotics.  In the mean time, ibuprofen will help with the pain (alittle) and chloraseptic throat spray.  Good luck and hope you feel better.

Age?  Germs are probably older than we are and strep is caused by a germ called streptococcal bacteria.  It wouldn't have been diagnosed until the 20th century with the advancement of modern medicine.  Strep throat is diagnosed by doing a throat cutlure (rubbing a cotton swab against the back of your throat).  I can't guess the age of streptoccoal pharyngitis which is a diagnosis/condition caused by a germ that is dateless.
