I caught strep throat. I'm dying from the pain. Anyone know what might help alleviate it? I can't go to the doctor for an antibiotic until monday, and I know it's strep because my family had it

Buy fish antibiotics online
Gargle some salt water.
It might sting but viruses are attracted to salt so if your lucky the viruses might just off your throat into the liquid so you can spit them out.
It usually works best when you notice your getting step throat early though.

It probably won't do much but you could try some anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen or aleve.
Throat lozenges also might make it a bit mroe bearable.

Chloraseptic and plenty of sleep senpai.

Orange juice and Emergen-C. Fuck what science says, might as well get that Vitamin C megadose. Fresh garlic (I mean a god damn lot, tablespoon minced mixed in with pasta or whatever) also is antibacterial, can help fight infections. Too much will cause diarrhea though.
Course all the throat spray and everything else posted is also good advice.

I have a whole rant but he bottom line is this
Take Vitamin C
and not just some like a whole lot
~10grams even more
just keep taking it till u get better

Trader Joes sells the bulk powder for about $15 for a pound the cheapest option

I've done both of these all day, Advil and cough drops, it isn't doing jack shit and I still feel like death
Fuck I wish it wasn't strep, hurts so fucking bad
>>29062876
You should post the rant anon, I'm desperate

You know cough drops =/= Throat lozenges right?
Throat lozenges are made to numb your throat for a little bit, you will get some small relief out of them.

Also if you get them read the ingredients. Some of them will not numb your throat I forget what it is i'll try to do a quick google search for you though,
>>29063038
these are the kind you're going to want to get.

at least you got dubs
get and stay hydrated
chicken soup or even broth might help
drink tea , maybe a small drink of brandy but not too much
Drink a can of sprite.
Sometimes if I'm in pain I just think to myself how it's just a sensation, and then I'm able to perceive it not as hurting, but as just another feeling. It's mentally tiring, though, to keep up that kind of thinking and I can't do it for more than 10 seconds.

chug some dxm
>>29062989
well there not much too it really you can do a search ans read about it in a minute
just go to the store and get some if you don't already
just the one ingredient ascorbic acid (vit c) whatever brand is cheapst and best cost per
unit
Those emergen-c packets are ok too but not that cheap
Unlike some vitamins ( like d3) you cannot OD on vit c is does not really have a toxicity threshold .
However if you take enough and reach bowl tolerance then it might act as a laxative and give you a liquid poop . IT wouldn't hurt you should only happen the once
Take at least 5 grams but you can just sit and eat them like candy
I know this may seems like I'm trying to prank you considering where we are but I'm
you don't need to trust me just search for it
http://www.vitamincfoundation.org/forum/ is one place
Did you know that most mammal produce their own vit c in the body from sugar ?
only people and chimps and guinea pigs need it from food
dogs and such just make it
