Suggest Treatment For Strep Throat

Hello, I have been diagnosed with strep throat today and I have puss pockets in the back of my throat. Is it healthy to pop them? I have done this before with chopsticks but it scared my mom because she didn t know whether it was good or bad that I did it. Also I have bumps on my arms and legs. It is healthy to pop those too? They are not necessarily pimples but stuff comes out of them.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

As per your history, it may be due to strep throat.

For that you can do saline or Betadine gargles twice a day. Take steam inhalation to get relief from congestion

For fever you can take tablet acetaminophen. In case of high grade fever, cough with phlegm you may require antibiotics and complete hemogram chest X Ray after consultation

Along with that take hygienic food and water. Keep your self hydrated

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
