Strep Throat

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.

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.

cefprozil is a type of anti-boitic therefore if you have strep throat you might be given cefprozil OR regular anti-biotics, but they are both as effective.

Gargle some salt water. Take in only a little sip at a time, gargle, and spit it out. the saltier the better but don't make it unbearable. DO NOT SWALLOW IT. It will taste absolutely horrible lol... do this about 10 times. You should feel a bit better for a while.

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.

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!

This brand contains nitrofurantoin. It does not treat the strep throat.

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.

Even the doctor also can not tell without the report from pathology laboratory.

Lemon (like other citrus fruits) contain high levels of vitamin C. Vitamin C helps boost your immune system.

The higher levels of vitamin C you take in, the less likely you are to get colds and other diseases.

Its very interesting the power vitamin C. It has strong healing qualitiies. Almost every animal (but a handful) make their own vitamin C. Because of this, they are rarely have things like cancer, heart disease, etc. It is also hypothesized that humans once made their own vitamin C, but due to DNA mutation, we cannot anymore.

This may explain why people recorded in the Bible were able to live for 400,500, 700+ years!

There is no vector of strep throat. I spread by droplet infection.

I am not sure what you are asking, but both strep throat and tetanus are bacterial infections. Strep throat is caused by infection with the Streptococcus bacteria and tetanus is caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani.

Phlegm in the throat can be super annoying but in all reality, phlegm and mucus serves an important role in the human body. Phlegm and mucus acts like the oil in a car does; it makes the engine move.

Yes, at the age of four I had a severe allergic reaction that for five days no doctor could account for. After many tests they concluded that I am indeed allergic to strep throat. Now I always have a course of antibiotics close and have to take them as soon as any symptoms arise.
