Strep Throat? Medicine? Help, please!?
I can't sleep for the life of me - my throat hurts way too much and every time I try to swallow (saliva or water) it stings my entire throat and it is extremely painful so I am avoiding it (spitting). My throat is very red - no bumps or anything though.
I had alcohol at 12:30 and it's now 5:00, would it be alright to take two Ibuprofen? Should I wait another two hours?
I was considering going to the medical center, it hurts so badly :(. Thanks...
I'm average size, but the Ibuprofen is only 200 mg, so I need two for them to kick in.
I have no tea :( but if I did I don't think I'd try to drink it regardless :P.

Yeah, go medicine centre, but i would say try to drink some chamomile tea, that will calm you and help you get to sleep :) and if you have sweet flowers :) smell them :D

Yes, it sound like you need some anti biotics. There are some spray sore throat medicines.
How big are you - one ibprofen is usually plenty. Gargling aspirin can help.

Strep throat requires antibiotics, by all means see a medical professional.
