you need to get antibiotics right away. you don't play around with strep throat. if left untreated it can lead to rheumatic fever, kidney disease and other complications.

You have to use antibiotics if you want it to go away.. If you want to get rid of the symptoms until you can see a doctor, use chloresceptic spray on your throat, take tylenol for your fever, and suck on sucrets

You have to be treated with medicine/shot for strep throat. You can only be sure you have strep throat by taking a test. Your doctor can do this in his office. It is called a Strep Screen.
