If you have been diagnosed by a doctor with strep throat, you definitely need to take anitbiotics because the infection could spread to your heart and cause complications or damage. In this case, with a diagnosis with a culture, antibiotics is the safest way to go.

Strep throut left untreated can become very dangerous. It can lead to scarlet fever and affect the heart. It is nothing to mess with. Usually penecillin is the drug treatment of choice. Those who are allergic will usually be put on Zithromax.

1) It must be treated with antibiotics. 2) You must either boil your old tooth brush for 5 minutes or purchase a new one to prevent catching it again. Do the same with anything that you put in your mouth example teeth guard if you play sports, ask dentist about retainers etc.
