Anyone have a natural cure for Strep throat? | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 637204 05/18/2009 12:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | WHY do you NOT have medical insurance? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 453949Most states have low or free insurance. Maybe you should consider this minor (you hope) illness as a warning that someone in your family is not making a smart decision about insurance? That's rather condescending. From her name, Sarahsota, I assume she lives in Florida. Florida has no state or county assistance for low income people; if you fall thru the cracks and don't qualify for Medicaid you're kicked to the curb and my husband was literally turned away from a hospital ER when his shoulder was dislocated because we didn't have insurance. Private medical insurance is about $500. a month for one person if not offered thru your job. Have a little compassion. It could be you in need sometime. True, true - Thank you. Hey OP if you do live in Florida our wonderful grocery chain, Publix, has done Wal-Mart one better and they GIVE away a wide variety of antibiotics as long as you have a prescription. Most of the major ones are free, in generic form. They don't ask any questions...even if you have insurance or if you drive up to the store in a mercedes, the antibiotics are free. If you can pheneggle the prescription from a doctor just take it to Publix. Otherwise if you really can't afford the doctor visit go for veterinary meds AS LONG AS you know what you can safely take. Keep benadryl on hand in case of allergic reaction. I agree with others on this post who say don't take chances with strep. |

I usually eat pickles and suck on honey for a sore throat and drink hot tea. Vitamin C always helps. Keeping warm when you sleep is important too. Doing things to keep your immune system strong will prevent infections like this. |

They sell it in little bottles, no scrip needed, and there should be instructions on the bottle. Works better than anything I've tried. Used to suffer a lot as a kid with nasty and persisting sore throats. Since I started doing this as soon as I feel one coming on, haven't had a problem. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 676697 05/18/2009 08:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I get strep throat often. The best thing is 1000 mg. of vitamin C with rose hips. Take one an hour with a full glass of water. In a couple of hours you will notice the pain receding. By the 4 or 5th hour, it should be gone. Only vitamin C with rose hips works. It's the rose hips that heals. |

| Bubbles User ID: 411294 05/18/2009 07:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You might try gargling with salt water with a few drops of tea tree and lavender essential oils in it. They are mildly antimicrobial. However, strep is nothing to screw around with. If it lodges in the valves of your heart it can damage them and leave you needing a heart transplant. Sorry. Don't mean to scare you, but get this taken care of. Are you sure it's strep and not just a sore throat? Usually it takes culturing to be sure. You can also work on upping your immune system with vitamins, garlic, and several herbs. Do an online search. Also, some types of honey manuka honey? have antimicrobial properties and can be soothing. Try hot tea with green tea and follow with a teaspoon of honey that you allow to dissolve slowly on your throat. If it's just a regular sore throat and not strep, that might do it. If sinus drainage is making it worse, try a little peppermint, eucalyptus and tea tree essential oils in a steaming pot of water on the stove. Add menthol crystals or some vicks vaporub if you have it. Stand near the steam and breath it, and it should open up your head and help you clear it. Also, shower steam helps. If you have lavender and tea tree essential oils, try soaking in a hot tub with several drops of those oils added to it. |

I have some in my bug-out bag for TEOTWAWKI emergency, but had to use it last winter for some nasty bronchitis (no insurance) and it worked as well as rx's I've had in the past. If not allergic to Tetracycline, you can take the 250 mg tetracycline antibiotic capsules sold for aquariums. Seriously, I took them 4x a day for 10 days with no side effects and it cured the bronchitis. Please be careful and do your own research. Strep is much more serious than bronchitis. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 454822 [link to www.wisegeek.com] My niece in England says you can walk into a pharmacy there, tell the pharmacist your symptoms, and get antibiotics without going to a doctor. How very sad we can't do that here. Strep is serious stuff but if you are in dire straits, you can get antibiotics at a pet supply store or feed store.
