[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding of strep is that everyone gets over it without antibiotics. Usually in about a week or 10 days. But we take antibiotics for it because very very few people may go on to develop very serious complications without the antibiotics - in other words, antibiotics aren't for the strep but for anything bad that may come after it (i.e. rheumatic fever). So it's totally plausible that lots of people have it lots of the time and it goes away and that's that. Adults have fever symptoms, so we probably don't always even notice. [/quote] I took antibiotics for it because I tried to last ten days in order to develop an immunity and it felt like I had 200 knives scratching against my throat at the same time. Seriously, i have never felt pain like that in my life. So, so, so bad. [/quote]
