does anyone know how to eat/ drink with strep thraot?!
Question: i havent eaten in two days. it hurts too much! what do i do?
Answers:
jello, chicken broth soup and alot of water.. I hope you went to the doctor. and take all your antibiotics. strep throat is nothing to mess with. My fiance' pasted away 5 years ago from heart failure due to strep throat and he was healthy. just make sure you take all your antibiotics.

Pain killers and gargle with warm salt water and then fruit juice or soup. I once had it twice in a month - I feel your pain.
You won't be able to eat/drink much. I usually just eat oranges with salt, seems to have a soothing effect on me. Also, some chicken broth is good. I'm not sure if they could be irritaiting to you though.
Pretty much anything room temperature, salty or citrus works for me. Feel better!
Popsicles will ease your throat. Drink Water.tea..no sodas and Pedialite. It has minerals and vitamins and will not burn your throat. If you can handle rice water.or grits ( do ya'll have grits?) with lots of butter will coat your throat.
Nothing very hot or cold, lukewarm should be just about right; nothing with lumps or chunks in it (ewww, that sounded grosser than I meant it to, sorry), stuff like broth (soup liquid without the pieces of meat, veggies, noodles, etc; try baby food, espec. fruits & puddings. If you're brave try popsicles, but something very cold will probably not feel great. Have you been to the doctor? Strep can be dangerous if left untreated...also, gargle with lukewarm salt water (slightly warmer than body temp), this may help.
Did u try soup? when my mom had that she had chicken broth with eggs in it. u put chicken flavoring (or some other flavor) in a pot of water on the stove, and when it's boiling crack an egg or two into a cup and stir then poor it into thhe boiling chicken broth, and keep it there about two minutes! it's really good!
have some hot broth or something. then its just liquid and should go down smoother. if you are on antibiotics (which you should be if you have strep) your symptoms should be getting better soon
I feel your pain, I lost a little over 10 pounds when I had strep throat. I got down to like 92 pounds and ended up in the hospital for 4 days. If you aren't on pain killers you should be, that definitely helps. I ate a lot of real soft small stuff. Chicken noodle soup, jello, pudding, Popsicles. I was extremely dehydrated too. I know it hurts but trying drinking a lot of fluids. My dad made me some Gatorade Popsicles. Good luck!
