My face hurts. My cold started out with swollen neck glands/lymphs as its main symptom, but has now turned into some serious mouth and throat pain. Last night it felt like I was teething, like I had wisdom teeth coming in (I have no wisdom teeth), so I alternated between soft foods and crunchy foods... sort of teething behaviour, I guess. Now,

fuck. fuckFUCK. *sigh* How long does it take for strep to go away? Today I feel completely fine and normal except for my throat/mouth.

how long, heh. it all depends on your health and how well you take care of yourself (or how well someone takes care of you)

Here are some things that might help you feel better:

* Taking ibuprofen (brand names: Advil, Motrin, Nuprin) or acetaminophen (brand name: Tylenol).
* Gargling with warm salt water (1/4 teaspoon of salt in 1 cup [8 ounces] of warm water).
* suck on throat lozenges, hard candy or pieces of ice.
* Eating soft foods, drinking cool drinks or warm liquids or sucking on Popsicles.

and get plenty of rest

but you already do that, right.
