How do I get rid of my Strep??

So, yes strep throat is contagious but luckily its also curable. Since it is caused by a bacteria it can be cured by taking antibiotics.
When doctors first see the symptoms of strep throat they will take a culture to send off to be tested, taking 24 or 48 hours for results. Then quickly putting patients on antibiotics such as penicillin,erythromycin ,clindamycin ,or cephalosporins.

  There are things you can do that will take off a bit of the edge at home. Try drinking warm tea, gargling warm water with salt, and throat lozenges to help relieve the sore throat a bit. Some also say liquid narcotic medicines can help as well.
