I have strep when will i feel better?

Question

i got on antibiotics today and have taken two pills already, along with some ibuprofen and gotten rest. my throat feels better but still feels a bit hard to breathe (like heavy chest). has anyone else had this and when do you start feeling normal again?

Answer 1

It usually takes an antibiotic 24 hours to get fully into your system.  Use a cool mist humidifier or put a pan of water on low on your stove, to put moisture in the air. It helps with the congestion in your chest.  

Answer 2

just keep takin the anti biotics, even after you feel better you still need to take them for as long as they are prescribed, i would recommend that after you feel better get your blood a pumpin, if you do that the anti bodies will flow through your body more quickly and will help out your immune system

Answer 3

It takes at least 24 hrs for the antibiotics to get really going.  I think Strep lasts at least 2 weeks.  You will start feeling a little better as each day goes by.  Just be sure to rest and drink lots of fluids.

Answer 4

Antibiotics usually take a full 24 hours to start working, so you should be feeling okay within the next two days. The longest would be five days. As long as you keep taking your antibiotics, you'll feel better soon.

Answer 5
