Don't ignore strep throat

Strep throat is a bacterial infection that is treated with antibiotics to kill the germs and prevent complications.

To help soothe painful symptoms of strep, doctors have suggested the following-

take an over the counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Never give aspirin to children.

gargle with a warm salt water solution.

adults and older children can suck on a popsicle, piece of ice, lozenge or hard candy.

eat applesauce, yoghurt, other soft foods, cool beverages and warm liquids such as soup or tea.

get plenty of rest, drink plenty of water.

avoid foods or drinks that are acidic or spicy.
