SuperSteve Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 I got atleast strep (sp?), maybe mono. I just want to get rid of the pain in my throat. I know salt-water gargle, also Benedril Elixer and water gargle. I am on Amoxicillian, anyone have any good home remedies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Temporarily, I like to use Chloraseptic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aboz56 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 I've gotten Strep quite often and the best way to get rid of it is taking a antibiotic and sleeping. Some of the remedies work well temporarily, but hell, it hurts so bad and makes you feel so s***ty that you are better off just lying down. The best antibiotic to take for it, by the way, is Zithromax Z-pack. And why do I know this? Well because I've already had strep three times this year. Hope you get to feeling better soon, I definitely feel your pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Chloraseptic works wonders. And Aspergum works well for me too(though it tastes like s*** after about a minute or 2). Otherwise...not much else I can say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3E8 Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 12 ounces of warm water. Pour in a bunch of salt. Gargle for 30 seconds, spit, repeat until water is gone. No bacteria will survive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding some lemon juice to that helps get rid of the salt "flavor" after you gargle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssHatSoxFan Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 yeah that all works well; the best thing i had i used to eat since it numbed my throat i think it was lydocaine but it wasnt OTC but that s*** worked good so i could actually eat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
