How To Relieve Strepsils
Strep throats and sore throats offer temporary relief from throat and mouth infections. Strep throat is a condition caused by an infection (stomatitis) of the tonsil crypts. The crypts are pockets or divots in the tonsils, where white blood cells invade and cause swelling. Antibiotics are effective against bacterial infections, but do little for strep throat.
Strep throat and sore throats often need not be treated with antibiotics. A physician can prescribe a mild local anaesthetic (hydrocodone) to reduce pain, and a steroid medication (such as prednisone or hydrocortisone) to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. These drugs, however, must be taken for a period not exceeding four weeks. If you are suffering from acute strep throat or sore throat, the doctor may choose to prescribe oral or intravenous glucocorticoids (prednisone or hydrocortisone) to reduce inflammation, which can help to resolve the problem of acute strep throat.
A solution of undiluted, clean water and a small amount of baking soda has been found to be very effective in treating sore throats and coughs caused by streptococcus bacteria. Dissolving the undiluted solution in a glass of water and applying it to the throat can bring some temporary relief. It should not be used for long periods, however. Another solution of undiluted, clean water and baking soda can be prepared by using a teaspoon of undiluted lemon juice and a quarter glass of water with a small amount of baking soda added. This solution can be used as a gargle if needed to treat acute strep throat or to soothe irritating coughs caused by streptococcus.
