strep throat AGAIN

[singlecalimommy]

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and have had strep throat going on the 4th time since finding out I'm pregnant. I have been givin amoxicillin 500 everytime. It work but after a about a week after stopping it ( and I use it all till its gone ) it comes back. This is very frustrating to me and have no clue what else to do. Could the pregnancy be causing it? Or am I just cursed with this fun illness?? Please help. I'm about to go nuts over here

You CAN cure it naturally, if you catch it early enough and are cautious to make sure the symptoms/fever don't worsen...if they do then see a doctor. Gargle with raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar diluted with 1/2 water every 2 hours. Drink fluids constantly. Avoid any and all sugars and cold things. Suck on garlic cloves in between gargles. Also gargle with sea salt in water every couple of hours. Drink fluids high in vitamin c, like lemon in water with raw honey. Mix 1/2 raw honey with 1/2 powdered tumeric and place in mouth, allow it to melt slowly. The tuneric, garlic and apple cider vinegar are all natural antibiotics/ anti-inflammatories. Eat simple soups of vegetables in chicken broth with some real whole chicken with bones slowly simmered in it. A pinch of cayenne in your food is also antibacterial. Good luck! Go to a doctor if your fever worsens near/past their recommended max temp.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

How about trying to act at the preventive end? Avoid contact with people suffering from throat infections. Diet which is well balanced with adequate proteins and non-refined carbohydrates with plenty of fruits and vegetables will build up immunity. In addition, have good light physical activity to increase your appetite and boost up stamina.

White patches are common in many throat  infections. The sore throat which you had may have contributed to it. In response to the infection the body produces soft white debris which collects in the tiny indentations in the tonsils called crypts. Repeated salt water gargles will help. Mix one teaspoon of salt in 1 cup of warm water and gargle. If the patches increase in size or become painful then consult your doctor.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
