Not possible. Strep throat must be taken care of with antibiotics. It is too serious of an infection to not provide proper treatment for. Left untreated, Strep can cause rheumatic fever and kidney disease. If you suspect you have strep, it's important to get to a doc ASAP.

Sore Throat \n\nHome Treatment \n\n\nHome treatment is usually all that is needed for a sore throat caused by a virus. If you are taking antibiotics for strep throat, these tips will also help you feel better.\n\nGargle with warm salt water to help reduce swelling and relieve discomfort: \nGargle at least once each hour with 1 tsp( ) (5 g( )) of salt dissolved in 8 fl oz(237 mL) of warm water.\nIf you have postnasal drip, gargle often to prevent more throat irritation.\nPrevent dehydration. Fluids may help thin secretions and soothe an irritated throat. Hot fluids, such as tea or soup, may help decrease throat irritation. \nUse a vaporizer or cool air humidifier in your bedroom. \nWarm or cool mist may help you feel more comfortable by soothing the swollen air passages. It may also relieve hoarseness. However, don't let your room become uncomfortably cold or very damp.\nUse a shallow pan of water to provide moisture in the air through evaporation if you don't have a humidifier. Place the pan in a safe location where no one will trip on it or fall into it.\nStop smoking and avoid secondhand smoke. For more information, see the topic Quitting Tobacco Use. \nIf you suspect that problems with stomach acid may be causing your sore throat, see the topic Heartburn. \n\nDo not take any Roxithromycin, Erythromycine, or any antibiotics, unless specifically prescribed to you by your physician.

There are throat lozenges that contain anti-bacterials (I don't know of any that contain anti-virals), that treat as well as soothe.

Stop taking the throat losanges.  They may make you feel good now, but they tend to dry out the throat and make the problem worse.  They definately don't seem to be curing you of anything.  \n\nIf it keeps bothering you, go back to the doctor; you may have something besides strep throat, which would be the only thing antibiotics would work on.

Do you have a fever? Chances are you have strep throat an d need antibiotics. Also, soups are only good for colds and flus. With a sore throat drink super cold and/or super hot things. Also, I recommend taking Airborne for about a week. It's gross but the lemon flovor is tolerable. This has tons of vitamins to help your immune system kick in. Good luck, hope you're feeling better soon.

you need an antibiotic. Do you know you have strepthoat? A throat culture is to determine that and if postitive, Dr. should've wrote you a prescription. If you already have an antibiotic and it's not helping...gargle with some warm salt water.

You can try a few things, drinking some hot water with some lemon squeezed into it can help. You can also try gargling some warm salt water, this can soothe your throat, just don't swallow the water, you can also use a a cold compress of eucalyptus oil.\nAlso, fresh pineapple actually has an anti inflammatory effect.\nFailing all else, go to the pharmacy or doctor and get some throat lozenges or something else, the pharmacy sell antiseptic throat gargles which are actually very good.

Get some Thyme and make Thyme Tea. Best thing ever for throat infections/sore throats.\nIf you can't find any, then try a sugar/butter ball (basically just roll a bit of butter/marg into some sugar)

I wasn't going to answe this question but the previous answerer is incorrect.  While not common, people with untreated Strep have died in the past.  You need to treat it propetly with antibiotics.  Go to the clinic and for Pete's sake, gargle with warm saltwater.

There are other strong medicines that you may need to take. Other antibiotics that belongs to a different classification. The best thing to do is to see ENT, have a culture throat swab culture(which is important) we never know maybe the strep and other bacteria have developed resistance already with the one you are taking now(penicillin) so it will not work anymore.\nAlso, have soft diet, so it wont cause must pain when you swallow. Yes, drink a lot of fluids. Salt water may just irritate your throat, better to stop it. Use betadine gargle or any oral antiseptic 3x daily.\nHope you feel better soon.
