Strep Throat

24 hours

Clindamycin is the the drug of choice for Strep throat. Penicillin and similar class are the drugs of choice.

Actually. Strep Throat can 100% go away on its own. It is a bacterial infection. But if it is not treated with antibiotics you will be sick longer, and contagious longer which can cause the people around you to have a bigger chance of getting Strep too. So I would recommend going to the hospital or calling your doctor. If your too lazy and don't want to take the antibiotics stay home and make sure not to eat acitic foods such as tomatoes. Drink hot tea with honey. Soups will make it feel better too. And have ice cream and Popsicle. It numbs the swelling.

NOT TREATED: Takes longer time to heal. (7 days). Longer time contagious. And increases the chance of family members from getting Strep.

TREATED (with antibiotics): Heals in about 48 hours. Not contagious anymore after 24 hours of taking the antibiotics. Decreases the risk of family members to getting strep.

REMEMBER LOTS OF SLEEP, LIQUIDS, HOT SOUPS/TEA, POPSICLE ETC. IT WILL GO BY FAST.

Go to the doctor

That is a very good question! Sore throat is very common in the society. Most of the time it heals without any treatment. It is easy to teach, but difficult to fallow. You have to take treatment for ten days. Everybody including the contributor fails to comply. Once you become well, you tend to forget the doses of penicillin. So you have about 15 million cases of rheumatic heart disease and every year about 300,00 people die of the same number of patients join in. When the patient comes to you with rheumatic fever, you have to put him on long term benzathine penicillin prophylaxis. After few months, some quack tells him that there is no need to take monthly injection and patient stops the same. Same story is repeated more than once, before the patient can be convinced. Occasionally, he gets over convinced and fear too much to next such attack and live fearful life without any much organic problem in the chest.

If you are infected then it takes about 48-96 hours before you develop symptoms.

Do note that you will be contagious before developing strep throat symptoms.

No. You can not blame the flies for every disease.

You shouldn't take antibiotics unless they are prescribed by a doctor. Indiscriminate use of antibiotics is a world wide problem and it contributes to bacteria becoming immune to antibiotics.

See your doctor

Ciprofloxacin is not a good drug for strep throat. That is too heavy antibacterial to treat the simple infection. You can take tablet penicillin V 250 mg three times a day for ten days. You must complete the course carefully. Otherwise the serious rheumatic fever can make the life of your family miserable.

That is a bad choice. You do not kill the mouse with gun. When the tiger comes, you my end up with a stick in your hand. Please use the antibiotics sensibly. Future generations should not call you gullible. You have to go for culture of the throat for strep bacteria. If the facility is not available, then you have to use Tablet penicillin for sore throat. tablet penicillin 250 mg three time a day for ten days, empirically.

way to many people have had strep throat

Technically, vitamin C would probably be better--if your sore throat is a symptom of flu, the common cold, or other viral (and even bacterial) infections. That's as far as I know. I have heard that zinc can be used to help reduce symptoms of the common cold, but frankly vitamin C is a pretty amazing immune system booster.

Anyway, thanks so very much for all of your time!

God bless!

Yes, bacterial infections by mesophilic pathogens can cause the symptom of a sore throat. For example, one infamous bacteria for this is Streptococcus pyogenes which causes strep throat.

A rapid test to detect a Group A Streptococcal throat infection costs around $50. This is the cost in most clinics, urgent care centers, and emergency rooms.

These healthcare centers buy the rapid tests for less than $2.00 each.

it all sort of depends. When i have had strep throat it is usually for 2 to 3 days. And you can never be sure

Sore throats are a common condition that can have any number of causes. Post-nasal drip can cause the throat to become irritated. Excessive smoking can cause it, and a number of viral and bacterial conditions can contribute to the condition as well. One common bacterial infection that causes a sore throat and a fever as its two most common symptoms is strep throat.

Most people get strep throat when they are children. As long as it is caught in time it is normally treated with a course of antibiotics that help the immune system do its job. Schools will usually demand that the child stay away from school for up to 24 hours after his symptoms have cleared up.

A concerned parent who suspects his or her child might have contacted strep throat can help the diagnosis by making sure that the child is not coughing, sneezing or suffering from other cold symptoms. The condition is usually accompanied by a fever of 101 degrees or higher. Swollen lymph nodes also let a parent know that a child has a problem. If any of these symptoms occur, the best bet is to make a doctor’s appointment and see what he can do.

Teenagers do get this sickness as well, but there is another condition, infectious mononucleosis that causes many of the same symptoms. If a teenager has been kissing, the odds are good that it is mono and not strep throat. Parents can do their teens and themselves a favor by not asking who they were kissing. A good medical professional will ask the same questions to determine who else might have been infected. Mononucleosis also includes fatigue as a symptom, which strep throat does not.

The previous paragraphs have referred to strep throat as being a common condition in children. That does not mean it cannot occur in adults. It can and the symptoms are the same. People who have weakened immune systems due to age or conditions such as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome can have this condition occur with other conditions.

On average, about 5,623,780 people die from strep throat a year.

This is about 0.0827743619% of the world population.

number of victims strep throat

Sore throats can be caused by viruses or bacteria. The most common causes of sore throats are viruses. Viral sore throats are often accompanied by other cold symptoms that may include a runny nose, cough, red or watery eyes, and sneezing. Other causes of sore throat include smoking, pollution or irritants in the air, allergies, and dry air.

Strep throat is caused by the bacteria streptococcus, that is why it is called strep throat.

Streptococci or the strep throat infection is transmitted by droplets. So it is mostly an airborne infection.

Breath out through your nose while he enters. Also, don't let him thrust. If you are in control of how deep he is in your throat, you can avoid his penis making you gag.

Strep throat, when untreated can lead to rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever affects your heart valves. You have bout 15 million patients suffering from rheumatic heart disease, world wide. Every year 300,000 die of rheumatic heart disease. Same number is added. Mostly the children are affected. This is a totally preventable disease and the prevalence of the same is shameful for the medical profession.

Cold milk would certainly sooth the soreness - and it's good for you too !

Maybe. The most common reason for a sore throat is a cold or flu virus. Since Cefaclor is an antibiotic that only works on bacteria and the cold or flu are caused by viruses, then the answer would be no. However, bacteria can also cause sore throats and then the Cefaclor may be helpful. Antibiotics that are known to kill a specific type of bacteria are chosen to treat a bacterial sore throat. Usually a simple test is done to see if there are bacteria or viruses in your nose or throat and, if bacteria, then the type of antibiotic that is know to kill that bacteria is chosen. That may or may not be Cefaclor, depending on the exact bacteria that infected your throat.
