Re: Strep throat infection at 33 weeks
so did the doc get back to you? I cant believe they will be so lazy with the pregnant woman.. my primary had me go in for the swab testing (for a suspected strep throat) and had the results for me within 24 hours.
I guess you can try the honey? gargle with salt water?
No GTG no response yet. Free healthcare comes with its downsides. It hurts to talk so can't even call them :(
Re: Strep throat infection at 33 weeks
Sorry you are feeling so bad...:(
Surprise no one has informed you as diagnosing strep throat does not take that many days.People say qehwa brewed with a piece of fresh ginger,some green cardamom,cinnamon and then mixed with honey helps.
Another tip is to use honey with fresh black cracked pepper and it soothes throat irritation and cough.Hope it helps,I havent tried them myself though.
Feel better soon..!
Re: Strep throat infection at 33 weeks
which country OP?
If its the UK sometimes you have to call the GP surgery for results rather than them calling you. Get your hubby to call?
Am in Canada. I will try the honey with cracked pepper. I am afraid to try the gehwa incase it is garam. I think chicklet still needs a little more cooking time in my oven :)
Re: Strep throat infection at 33 weeks
you have to get an antibiotic and it works super quick. i'm amazed they haven't gotten back to you- can you follow up with them and insist they see you again because you're in such pain? strep throat sucks. i dread getting it every year. ugh. i'm sorry, lady!

I think qehwa/green tea is not garam and safe to consume in pregnancy.But please double check for your own satisfaction.Once again,feel better soon...:)
