I had strep for about a week before going to the doc. If it continues, definetly go see a doctor.

About the only thing that would help my throat was a mix of Cleritain (I also had a head cold) to stop dripping, then Contact extra strengh for the throat pain. NyQuil and Dayquil caps didn't put a dent in it.

Also hot liquids are extreamly helpful. My morning cup of coffee was an amazing soother. Then later in the day I would enjoy a hot cup of tea, it really helped take the egde off and sooth. I also tried cold with LeCarb icecream, but the warm seemed to work 1000 times better.
