Don't use that over the counter shit. It literally does nothing. Just get drunk and watch some movies and pass out. That's all you can do.

i feel like alcohol would make it worse, since it usually dries my throat and im tryna keep it wet and lubricated so it dont hurt as much

Did your provider give you anything? Maybe try those lozenges (not cough drops) that are medicated and numb your throat

Try a retail clinic, call and see if they have up front fees for their services.
Some of them are cheap and youd probably get an estimate and determine if you can afford it.

For strep!? This fucking person is peddling medical costs on you. At best you might need an Antibiotic. Other than think, drink it off.

Thats very unsafe.

If you cant afford care, is there a family member who might be willing to foot the bill for at least a retail clinic or urgent care?

playing with fire TC. first, unless you've got amoxicillin or one of the penicillin derivatives lying around you're probably wasting your time. second, its just plain dumb to take old drugs.

go to the doctor, you dont know what you have.

Strep throat does not require a fucking Urgent Care visit. Unless his throat is bleeding or he can't breathe. Liquor it up bud, it'll pass. I can't believe Joe is a nurse at this point.

You do typically go to a clinic for strep throat to get some antibiotics, it's normal.

Yeah but not Urgent Care. This is a simple case of get drunk and sleep it off. I've saved millions of dollars by just drinking it off.

...if you're going this rout then you need to watch for symptoms of secondary complications.

joint pain
headaches
ear pain
trouble breathing
rattling while breathing

if you notice these, GO TO A DOCTOR.

Drink lots of cold water. It may hurt but if your throat gets dry its gonna hurt a lot worse and the cold can provide mild relief from pain
Eat soft foods
Ibuprofen can help with pain/swelling. If you cant take that Tylenol might help take the edge off the pain a bit.
Higher dosage or medicated throat lozenges may help better than the standard 5ish mg menthol ones.

If you get a severe neckache/highly stiff neck(Particularly if its rapid onset or with accompanying fever, headache, vomiting, back stiffness/pain, lethargy, confusion, or rash) get to a fucking doctor immediately because strep throat can cause meningitis which when not treated is fatal more than 50% of the time and most the time it isnt fatal to leads to serious long term complications when untreated/treated late Including deafness, gangrene, Brain damage and more.

Strep is one of the leading causes of meningitis. Be on guard.

With prompt treatment prognosis is pretty good for meningitis. Oh and dont go to work please. Strep throat sucks and is highly contagious.
