"Strep throat will go away in 3 to 7 days with or without treatment. Doctors usually treat strep throat with antibiotics even though they may not make you well faster. Antibiotics shorten the time you are able to spread the disease to others (are contagious) and lower the risk of spreading the infection to other parts of your body." --WebMD.com

"The only known way to prevent rheumatic fever is to treat strep throat infections or scarlet fever promptly with a full course of appropriate antibiotics." -- The MayoClinic Staff.

M$There is absolutely no need to use alternative therapies since the above remedy is %100 effective and safe. The only problem is penicillin sensitivity and that high dose aspirin greater than 3grams a day might result in tinnitus in some patient. Some patients can develop tinnitus at lower doses. If patient start hearing any ringing in the ear, aspirin must be immediately discontinued and replaced with corticosteroids.
Grapefruit Seed Extract and pine tar extract can be useful in treatment of Lyme disease or chronic fatigue syndrome where traditional antibiotic are not 100% effective.
