I’m going to let you in on the best thing to do for strep (besides going to the doctor and taking your antibiotics). You are going to get hot water, at least a cup of it, and put like a tablespoon of salt in it. Stir it, let it dissolve, and then get a small amount to gargle for at least a few seconds, spit it into the sink and then repeat until the glass is empty

It kills the bacteria in your throat and so when you wake up tomorrow it will feel much better. You can do it every night and maybe in the morning too if you want.

DONT drink the salt water as that’s going to make you feel bad.

Honestly, maybe try crushing up some ice cubes and letting them sit on the back of your throat for a little relief from the inflammation?

Some hot tea (like marshmallow root tea or chamomile) with honey is also good for coating the raw skin and lowering inflammation but you probably have tried hot tea if you’re this miserable 😭 I’m sorry you’re so sick right now
