[nothanksyourgay]

hurts when i swallow and eat or try to yell.
are there any home remedies for strep?
does strep go away by itself?

[raisedbycoyotes]

Strep infection produces that white gunk!

You must go to a dr. to check for strep before it gets worse. Mine went from strep to scarlet fever to a kidney disease (with a mile-long name) that nearly killed me. It's nothing to mess around with. Get it early, and it's just a few days of antibiotics.

[amandamation]

no this isn't cancer. I get this sometimes, it's an infection of some kind.

You need to have a antibiotic for strep throat. Please see your doc as soon as possible.

Probably strep throat, but must see a Dr. to be sure. Or it could be a viral illness.

Go to the doctor. Untreated strep throat can cause kidney damage or even heart problems. Be sure and take all of the antibiotics as directed.
