Most of the patients recover with in say three days clinically. This happens due to immune response of the body. But many becomes carrier of the strep throat causing bacteria. So the patient must get ten day course of tab penicillin or azithromycin or one of the other member of the macrolide group of antibiotic. Like roxithromycin, clarithromycin or erythromycin for ten days.

Talk to you doctor if you have a fever, or any other symptoms that concern you. You can't get diagnosed here. Strep Throat doesn't appear out of thin air; it is a bacterial infection. Not all bad sore throats are caused by strep. If you have cold symptoms and no fever, it is probably caused by a virus. Strep throat is airborne, meaning that you get it from the tiny droplets that an infected person gives off in sneezes. So a person who doesn't have strep throat cannot possibly give strep to you, no matter what you do. But that doesn't mean that you can't get any number of other things from engaging in oral sexual activity.

Strep is also contatious, of course to a partner or sharing utensils or drinking cups without proper disinfecting... Hope this HELPS!

What are some the cures for strep throat?

I am a jerk who feels it necessary to point out the obvious to people even though it's obvious what they meant because I feel it makes me appear smarter while at the same time belittling you. Here is an example: "There is no 'substitute' for strep throat. If you mean an over the counter medicine for strep throat", Robitussin may help you but there isn't really much that has antibiotic actions. You could try Echinaceia but theres no solid proof per word of the FDA that it works.
