What Is The Solution For Severe Strep Infection In Throat?

my 25 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with "the worst case of strep throat the doctor had ever seen, she was given 3 shots and now she is at home a day later and cannot stay awake... absolutely exhausted. Is this the result of the infection or do you think i should send her back to be tested for mono?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of severe strep infection in throat which is due to poor immunity of body and bacterial infection and increased susceptibility of getting infected. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid intake of cold liquids. Avoid intake of excessive oily, fried and spicy food. You should do warm saline gargles on daily basis and take steam inhalation as well. You should take antibiotic Ciprofloxacin and antihistamine Levocetirizine for 3-4 days. Do tepid sponging as well. Give your daughter oral rehydrating solution as well. Visit ENT specialist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get blood tests and throat swab done to rule out condition such as mono and start treatment after proper diagnosis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
