Is there medication for anorexia nervosa?

That's impossible to say. Many people die of anorexia, and many survive. It depends on when intervention occurs, how much damage has been done to the organs. Anyone who has anorexia nervosa and is still alive can potentially be helped by medical care. It takes more than medication though. They must be given nutrition, counselling, and the underlying problems must be resolved. Medication might be given to help deal with the psychological issues, and to help with the physical damage caused by long term starvation. In general: there are many ways in which doctors can help a person with anorexia nervosa. People have been cured of the disorder, and medication may play a part in that, but it's not a magic bullet. There needs to be counselling to help the person get over the underlying psychological problems leading to their obsessive drive to be thin. Yes, it can work, and people can go on to live normal lives.

What is worse anorexia or strep throat?

Anorexia is worse than strep throat, by far. Strep throat is (usually) a short term illness that is treated with medication and a doctor's visit. Anorexia is both a physical and mental illness in which the anorexic person believes they are fat and starves themself and overexercises to lose excessive amounts of weight. Anorexia is not always curable, and severe cases require months on end in a hospital or in an outpatient treatment care center. Anorexia can be a lifelong, deadly disease, while we have developed cures and treatment options for strep throat.
