This is what I do when I or my kids get strep throat:
First, put the feet in very hot mustard water. Bathing at least to the knees, once or twice during the day. Put around the throat a flannel piece saturated in an equal combination of Mutton Suet, Spirits of Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor. Heat the oils on the stove, but not too hot - it might burn the body! About every two or three hours gargle the throat, one time with the Glyco-Thymoline and the next time with Listerine. Take an equal combination of Fletcher's Castoria and Syrup of Figs; about half a teaspoonful of each, every hour until there are full eliminations. Try this before going to a Dr. - it really works for me!

After reading the home remedies, I decided to try the Cayenne Pepper rinse. 1/8th of a tsp. Cayenne in a small half glass of warm water. It seemed to help and did not burn like I thought it would. I continued to read. Someone suggested pure Hydogen Peroxide. I thought, "Yeah, it will kill the germs!!" Gave that a whirl and although the pain is still there, swallowing is much more managable now. It doesnt feel like I'm swallowing a speed bump. I have had strep so often in my life, my doctor said that I am a "Carrier". I cannot give per say but if I come around with someone with Strep, I catch it like a magnet. That is great. I think next I'm going to try the Grapefruit Seed Extract. The person that wrote it said they have not been sick for 12 years... sounds good to me. Good luck all with the strep!!
