Dude if you have white spots go to a doctor. That's strep or tonsillitis or something. Need a Z pack to knock that shit out.

Taking antibiotics without going to the doctor first isn't a good idea. Antibiotics only treat bacterial infections, not viral infections. So if it's a virus that's causing your pain, the antibiotics would be completely useless. Not only would they be useless, but you could be hurting yourself in the long run. When you use antibiotics when you aren't supposed to, you risk having the bacteria in your body in the future resist the antibiotic. So when you actually do need it, it probably won't help. And if it is a virus, there isn't much a doctor can do anyway. They usually just let it run its course... unless it's threatening your life.
I've had strep throat a ton of times in my life. My throat was killing me, I always had a mild-moderate fever, tender glands and spots on the back of my throat and tonsils. A couple of months ago, I had the same symptoms. Convinced it was strep, I went to the doctor to get some antibiotics.... they tested it and it was negative for strep and was actually a viral infection. So they just let it run its course and it went away about 3-4 days later. Point is, you won't know unless you go to the doctor.

If you just wanna alleviate the symptoms go to whole foods and get some Honey Loquat syrup. Its in the section with all their bullshit horsepills or whatever. Mix a tablespoon or 2 in with some hot tea.

Shot of jack, and orange peels on the heater in the room when you sleep, although it's not exactly cold so you can't do that part... but the shot of jack you can.

First of all, if you have leftover antibiotics you're kind of a tard. You use them until they are gone. Don't stop just cause you feel better. Second, self medicating with antibiotics when you don't know what you have is like nuking a city cause you think your house might have termites.

I'm no doctor, but the pain is caused by your mucus membranes. Take Mucinex and drink LOTS of fluids. The Mucinex will thin out the mucus, and the fluids will help flush it out of your system. That's about all you can do. Antibiotics should be the LAST option, however. I wouldn't take those without consulting a doctor first.

Gargle with hydrogen Peroxide mixed with warm water, half/half. It takes the pain away.

Hydrogen peroxide and children's Benadryl. Half and half in the cup that comes with the Benadryl. Gargle and spit. The peroxide will disinfect and the Benadryl will help with the swelling and pain relief. I did this when I had strep and it helped.

going to the doctor at 10am today, im thinking it has to be something besides strep. it keeps me up all night and I'm getting so pissed that nothing is working. 2 vicodin didn't do a damn thing. I've had strep a few times and it was never even close to being this bad.
