What is good to eat when you have strep throat?

Question

i have it now and its very painful to swallow

Answer 1

lots and lots of ice cream all you can eat try that and let us know if it works thank you for asking  

Answer 2

Orange juice -  seems to lubricate the throat and cause less friction.

refried beans, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs (very good for you when you're sick)  and soup.

Answer 3

Jell-o

Yogurt

Ice Cream or popsicles

soup (like tomato,nothing with noodles or meat)

Chicken broth



Try to eat foods that are easily swallowed and that won't cause further irritation to your throat. I hope you feel better soon!  

Answer 4

Broths, jellos, puddings, soups, anything soft.  Just be sure to get lots of fluids.  You may or may not have strep.  It takes a throat culture to be sure.  If you do have strep, you should be on antibiotics.  Left untreated, the symptoms can go away, but the strep itself can actually cause problems in the rest of the body, like the heart...

Answer 5

How awful!  I feel for you, strep is so miserable.  I would stick with cool, smooth foods like yogurt or ice cream.  Also, I hope you're on anti-biotics, because strep needs to be treated, not ignored.  I hope you feel better soon!

Answer 6

jello, and a great remedy that's better than gargling is to buy a rubber e***a bag at the drug store and put in a salt water solution to irrigate with. It allows you to control the flow and direction of the flow, very soothing and helps clear up infection.  I've done this many times I used to get strep ALL THE TIME
