How to stop vomiting with strep throat?

When I had strep throat, my doctor explained that the extreme swelling in the tonsils can trigger the gag reflex, leading to vomiting. She advised me to stick to cold liquids like smoothies (non-dairy) or popsicles to numb the throat, and strictly warned against hot spicy soups which inflame the throat tissue further.

Since throat cultures and medical consultations can cost a lot if you go to premium corporate hospitals, try visiting a trusted local GP first. You can get the standard antibiotic and anti-vomiting prescription for a fraction of the cost, which will save you a lot of money while resolving the infection quickly.

If you are trying to manage work while dealing with strep and vomiting, it is impossible. Just take a medical leave today. Take the prescribed throat spray and anti-emetics from your physician, rest your throat completely, and don't try to force-feed yourself heavy meals.

Please do not ignore this combination. I once ignored a severe sore throat and vomiting, thinking it was just a regular cold, and it turned into a massive kidney issue because the strep infection spread. Go to a hospital immediately and get a throat swab done before it gets complicated.
