Strep throat remedies? Currently in Berlin on vacation and having the worst throat sickness I’ve ever had, feels like I’m getting stabbed in the throat.

Just finished my first day on penicillin and still feel like shit.

Been taking ibuprofen, vics cold medicine and making honey / tea / cayan and garlic remedies. Along with these inflammation lozenges and gargling saltwater.

idk what else to do, can’t even sleep and can barely swallow / eat.

help, my trip is being ruined.

Damn that sucks. Thoae strepcil tyoe losenges always worked pretty good for me.

There's cloroseptic(i think) spray you can use if. That shit numbs your mouth and throat up pretty good.

Best of luck.

Those cepacol lozenges work amazing, even better than the spray imo. Can gargle salt water as often as you want.

Is it just strep throat or do you have a sinus infection too? If you got drainage, get on the decongestant and antihistamine train to dry that shit up.

+1 for cepacol

you can also get tea that will numb your throat

alternatively you can just sip on a tube of oragel which would probably be most effective
