Apparently there is concern around taking antibiotics because our bodies may become immune, and there are quick and effective to get rid of strep throat ways that don't include growing fungus in your body.
Credit to the bf for showing me the way.
Step 1: Gargle salt water ( 1 tbs salt + 1 c water)
Step 2: Gargle apple cider vinegar water (3 tbs apple cider vinegar + 3/4 c water)
Repeat til those white spots disappear and your tonsils revert to normal size.
I caught mine early (a couple spots here and there) and this took care of it in less than 3 days.
Super cheap too!
