The BIG Question: How Long Does Strep Throat Last?

Strep throat is a very common problem nowadays. It comes on and off sometimes, and every time you get it, you feel miserable. The question of "how long does strep throat last" can actually vary from time to time. Average time to get completely recovery can be 7 to 10 days. Sometimes just a few days is enough, however.

As soon as you have figured out that you have strep throat, immediately start taking action. If you want to heal the natural way, gargling water mixed with baking soda mixed in the water is also very beneficial. If the pain is too much, you can take antibiotics as well, but isn't required, unlike commonly thought. As soon as you start taking the steps to healing the strep throat, you should already start feeling better within 2-4 days. Continue the gargling and/or antibiotics for at least a week longer though, until you are 100% sure that you are well.
