Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have strep throat . The symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like bacterial infection of upper respiratory tract , post nasal drip due to sinusitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start with warm saline gargles and betadine gargles 3-4 times a day. For pain and swelling you should take ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis and rule out condition like strep throat and viral infection . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with decongestants and anti inflammatory . Doctor may also prescribe antihistamine like zyrtec and vitamin supplement like vitamin C to boost the immunity .Avoid hot, sharp , spicy food substances , do warm saline rinses and carbonated beverages.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
