When I'm sick, I drink pomegranate juice. It's very high in antioxidants.

Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks ShaneMo,

Right now I'm having problems swallowing anything, but as soon as I can I'll try the pomegranate juice.

Sleep and acetaminophen, works every time. Feel better.

Thanks, I'm feeling almost 100%. I think the antibiotics finally kicked in.

Did they give you anything for your strep throat?
Gee, I hope you are feeling better soon.

Barbara,

Yeah they gave me some antibiotics, but if I ever get it again, I'm demanding pain killers until the antibiotics kick in. I'm back to my healthy self once again.

Thank you

I don't know if they sell it in the US but here in Canada at the drug store you can buy a throat gargle called Cepacol. It has a mild anesthetic that's pretty effective for strep throat. You might want to look for something like that in case you get strep again.

Fortunately though it generally only takes 24-48 hours for the antibiotics to kick in but the first couple of days can indeed be quite painful.

Glad to hear you are feeling yourself again.

Thanks Barbara,

I've never heard of that. I'll try to remember to check that out the next time I'm at the store though. It has been years (I can't remember the last time I had strep). So hopefully I've gotten it out of my system for the next 6 or 7 years.
