I know you don't have benefits but you should really go to the dr. Last year I had strept throat 7 times. It was hell!! I put off going to the dr and it spread. It was the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life.
okay. until your health-care benefitty thingies kick in, grab a flashlight, go into the bathroom, shine the light down your throat and have a good look at the back of your throat. if there are white, pusy-looking things, then you have Strep throat. if you don't, you're just sick and should be taking more vitamin C.
if they're there, though, take it easy for a week or so, and for the love of Bob, DON'T BREATHE ON ANYONE! 'tis a highly contagious disease, and it's deadly, so please don't share it! you're going to want to take one amoxicillian/pennisillian/some sort of good antibiotic each day for ten days to kill off the infection. drink lots of hot, herbal tea, with honey and lemon (it's pretty gross, but it works) to sooth your throat, and try to stick with mainly water or juice, they'll help you bounce back faster.
*smiles* ...I so shoulda been a doctor. :p I hope you DON'T have Strep, and that you get to feeling better reeeeaaaaaaal soon. :)

I haven't been to a doctor in about 17 months. Hopefully I can wait another few days.
