What should someone eat if they have strep throat?!
Question:
Answers:
Take your medicine, of course, but anything that will provide nourishment. If your throat is sore, consider instant mashed potatoes made with milk. Soups, broths, cottage cheese, anything soft that you can comfortably eat. Protein drinks and meal replacements are expensive but would do in a pinch.
It is also very important to stay hydrated. If you can't stand plain water, try herbal teas (peppermint is soothing).
My favorite peppermint tea is made by Traditional Medicinals (www.traditionalmedicinals.com. I can only get it at health food stores.

In addition to the antibiotics prescribed by your doctor, hot liquids like chicken soup are good. You might also gargle with very warm saltwater several times a day. I've found that peppermint candy and ice cream are soothing for any sore throat.
