Antibiotics are used for treatment of strep throat. Once the course of antibiotics is started, it is necessary to complete it because if it is left in between, then the infection may persist in the body which will again get activated at later stage. Drink large amount of water to lower the temperature of the body. Drink high quality soup such as soup of vegetables and fruit juices. Take as much rest as possible for rapid recovery from the infection. Antibiotics such as penicillin and amoxicillin have proved to be helpful in curing strep throat. If strep throat is untreated by antibiotics, then it will go away within seven days but antibiotics are recommended to kill the bacteria and give you relief within short time.

If there is continuous occurrence of strep throat, then the doctor will opt to remove the tonsils by surgery. You can also opt for nonprescription medicine to reduce the fever and pain in the throat. Increase resistance power of the body by doing regular exercise and eat a balanced diet. Consume cool drinks and soft food to relieve pain. Gargle with little salted warm water to reduce swelling.
