Possibe Strep Throat

[can1991]

Hi, I have had an odd feeling in my throat for a few weeks. It has not been sore, just had to swallow alot, felt really dry. Being on Humira, my GI said I could have an infecton and not know it. Sure enough... went to dr. today and he said my throat is very red and he suspects Strep! So I am now on antibiotics for 10 days. I should go get some probiotic yogourt to eat. Does anyone else have any advice?

I think the yoghurt is a good idea, the last thing you want after the antibiotics is thrush. Rest heaps, drink water and let the antibiotics do the work. Is the probiotic the same as acidophilius? That's the yoghurt I get when on antibiotics - which is now for me. I have a UIT and folliculitis on my legs.

I got strep throat every years for about five years when I was on Remicade. Nasty stuff.

Whoa, Sounds like Strep is common. The yogurt I get is Organic. Not sure the type of good stuff in it. I need to go get some tonight. Thanks everyone for the info and advice.
