Can you drink milk or soymilk with strep?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, you can drink milk or soy milk with Strep throat. However, any forms of milk products WILL increase phlegm (mucous) in the throat. Forms of milk make mucous thick, hard to cough up or swallow, and will increase throat irritation and coughing. Increased coughing WILL irritate the throat.

So it is best NOT to drink or eat milk or milk products. Stick to broths, soups, tea, warm water which will thin mucous.

Asked by Wiki User

There are too many diagnoses that can cause those symptoms to guess which may be causing these. It will take an examination and maybe some diagnostic tests to know for sure. It can be a serious sign when there is blood from a cough, so don't hesitate to have an examination to find out.

Can you drink coffee when you have strep throat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Liquids overall are good for a sore throat since they keep you hydrated and prevent anything from building up or irritating the throat, but since tea is warm it helps to soothe the sore throat. It's also good to either put lemon in the tea or just drink it with honey. I enjoy putting ginger in mine; it also helps.

What is a strep carrier?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Some of the untreated or under treated patients of strep throat becomes chronic carriers. Such carriers are are asymptomatic. Few of them go for rheumatic fever. When you try to treat them with penicillin tablets, there is treatment failure in some cases. The most probable cause is probably the noncompliance. It is too human to forget the doses, when you are asymptomatic. You have to give injection 1.2 to 2.4 million units of benzathine penicillin to such patients. Culture should be repeated after ten and twenty days. This method is going to treat the infection.

How do you treat strep throat symptoms without a doctor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Strep throat can be treated without going to the doctor. There will be more discomfort involved in the healing process due to swollen throat or pharyngitis. It will take 4 to 7 days for your immune system to build up antibodies to fight the Streptococcus bacteria that cause strep throat. What you can do to minimize the discomfort is take warm tea with lemon or buy a local anesthetic spray to numb the swollen tonsils. Good luck fighting the bacteria!

Does Tetracycline treat strep throat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, tetracycline has been shown to be effective as a broad spectrum antibiotic that works well against many strains of strep. However, tetracycline is pretty old and has some side effects that are not super-dangerous for most, but are still problematic. It can discolor teeth with children. You can't go out in the sun whiile taking the course. And, as with older antibiotics, there are resistant strains that it won't help. It's not a bad choice against strep (in general) -- but a choice I don't see much nowadays in America, the UK or Europe, except in dermatologicla applications. Note: Can't use this when pregnant or breast feeding.
