Is there an alternative health option to cure a sore throat other than antibiotics?
My doctor keep prescribing antibiotic after antibiotic and somehow they don't work, plus they cannot be healthy to be on repeated doses like that,right?
Answer: Considering you enjoy had repeated rounds of antibiotics you should begin taking a probiotic, the antibiotics enjoy also killed off much of the flawless bacteria in your intestines. Probiotics will relief re-establish that. Oil of oregano is a good natural antibiotic. Vitamin C is also moral for building the immune system.Gargle with warm saline water or a mouthwash that contains tea tree oil. I would have a sneaking suspicion that that yeast would also be abundant at this point, Olive leaf would assistance with that. Stay away from sugar, caffeine, nicotine and alcohol while you are recovering from this. Undistilled apple cider vinegar and local honey (from within 10 miles of where on earth you live) mixed in water and drank a couple times a year. Undistilled vinegar has natural probiotics and honey have antibiotic properties and helps boost immune system...local is also good for desensitizing to local pollens. Fresh fruits and veggies, stay away from outstandingly processed foods, choose lean meats, stay away from fast food.You may want to consider a sinus rinse,(with marine and sea salt, not table brackish as it contains iodine and may be very irritatiing) many times what ever the invading germs is can reside in nasal passages also. Results may not be as instantaneous as with prescription drugs but once your body has strengthened itself (a couple of weeks) you should be capable of knock this out. Keep taking the oil of oregano and oil fern for at least 4 weeks to get rid of as much yeast overgrowth as possible..
Most sore throats are viral, and don't entail antibiotics. But, hopefully the three different antibiotics were based on cultures and sensitivities from the throat swab. If not, you involve to have a repeat culture done and see what antibiotics your strain is resistant to.
There is the possibility that you also have Mono as capably as Strep. Were you given a blood test for mono as well as the throat swab?
Penicilllin is still the first row drug for proven strep throat, but there is increased resistance to it as it has be around for so long...as well as because of overuse where it is superfluous. The overuse of antibiotics is largely patient driven, not physician driven.
Group A strep is the only one we verbs about, because of the potential it has to raison d`¨ētre other long term problems such as kidney damage, or sabotage to the valves or your heart from untreated rheumatic fever..
Hi near..depends on what's causing the sore throat.
Has your doctor taken a swab of your throat to determine the bacteria to be exact causing the soreness (if it is indeed a bacteria)?
If he hasn't and continues to prescribe an antibiotic, he is shirking his duties! To keep prescribing antibiotic after antibiotic and not know what the wreak of the soreness is, is gross neglect in a physician.
You may enjoy a post nasal drip that is irritating your throat.
You may have a viral infection that an antibiotic won't touch.
You may hold something else going on with your body.
No they are not healthy to verbs taking them as your body becomes immune to them and when you really need them, they won't do you any upright.
Please change doctors and explain your problems and the antibiotics you have taken and for how long you've taken them. Plus any test that were done or not done.
Gargle with really heat up salt water several times a light of day for a couple days. There are throat sprays to numb the pain, plus tylenol or ibuprofen. Take 2-3000 Vit C every 4 hours for several days. Eat healthy and receive at least 8 hours sleep each dark.
Good luck
I am an RN.
My fellow Texan...
you got a lot of answers but really you call for to see ANOTHER physician. That many antibiotics can lead to a condition call Thrush. this is where the antibiotics have cause the depletion of the natural bacteria within your mouth..
the little girl who is a Top Contributor read off to you all the answers from a website.
the best of your answers are to stop smoking if you smoke.
to gargle next to warm salt marine and with aspirin crushed up in the gargle..
lemon, hot tea and honey is well brought-up.
and the guy who told you that antibiotics only work on bacterial infections...well...you told him that it be strep...which is a BACTERIAL infection from streptococcus
bacterias.but they have a tendency to find antibiotic desensitized...so...back to the beginning...
SEE A NEW DOCTOR.
OH ! The post nasal drip problem solution would be virtuous if it was not already diagnosed as strep throat...
nothing different in this answer other than Miss Texas Rose...
attain to the Urgent Care Center today and get that throat cleared up... at this point I would ask for a new throat culture.
from an mature man who knows...LOL.
These pill pushing doctors !! Antibiotics only do any well brought-up on about 1/10 the cases they are prescribed on. Usually do more harm than obedient. Anti biotic means anti life.
You necessitate to get off the stupid anti bio-tics and achieve on a good Pro Biotic to counter the destruction of anti bio tics.
Dr. Ohhera's Probiotic +12 can be found on line. It be developed by a Dr. in Japan.
Sore throat; take grease of oregano capsules. Olive leaf extract both can be found contained by a health store. Good luck.
I would agree with the nurse above me and give some additional dietary advice:

Remember that a sore throat that does not develop contained by to cold symptoms could be strep throat and would need antibiotics. Get swabbed after three days if you only own a sore throat and a fever, headache and nothing else. Then it is strep..
You necessitate to try different antibiotics. Strep can be a pain to get rid of, but allowing it to fester can mete out serious problems in the future. In certainty, the number one cause of heart valve problems next in life is cause by an earlier strep infection. Eat right, drink OJ, get right rest, and take the antibiotics. (use as directed)
Acidophilus - to replenish friendly bacteria wipe out by the antibiotics.
Bee Propolis - Protects mucous membranes of the mouth and throat.
Garlic capsules - For improved immune function.
Zinc lozenges - For twinge relief, healing and better immune function.
Echinacea and Goldenseal to fight the bacterial infection..
Right!
The other & better way is prevention. If u r a smoker, u enjoy 2 stop. If some one close 2 u smokes, ask the person 2 stop smoking or at least not smoke when u r around.
Be on the study & note if there r unmistaken foods which trigger the sore throat like some foods like pickle etc. Avoid that food..
hot river mixed with lemon and honey...my friend also swore by warm lemon liquid freshly squeezed mixed with salt and gargle Honey and lemon next to a very little fresh grated ginger. Make it hot, it is very soothing and unsurprisingly safe..
Chlorseptic works for me. I don't like anitibotics of any sympathetic as think they ruin your immune system. Colloidal Silver 1-3tablespoons per day, use for 10days..
antiboitics are no honest unless its a bacterial infection ... honey and lemon is good you could try gargeling salt marine. or eating frozen fruit.
gargle, apple cider vinegar..its disgusting but it works.make sure its thaw out...
