Strep throat is a disease caused by streptococcal bacterial infection. This infection leads to soreness and inflammation in the throat and tonsils. Strep throat is most common among school children and teens. Strep throat is caused by infection with bacteria known as Streptococcus Pyogenes. Strep throat is highly contagious and passes from one infected person to another through touch, cough, sneezes that contain droplets of streptococcus pyogenes bacteria. Homeopathic treatment for strep throat helps provide long term relief from the condition.

Hello Dr. Sharma – I’ve gotten strep throat 3x since November. Now my 7 year old son has it. I’ve taken antibiotics each time (augmenten in Nov, clindamycin in Jan, and augmenten in March) and my 7 year old son is now on his first dose (amoxicillin).
I’m wondering if I haven’t fully cleared the infection. Can you help me?
I am 38 years old and exclusively breastfeeding.
Thank you,

I would appreciate your opinion. Thank you very much.

Hi Dr. Sharma,
Can I use a homeopathic remedy for hyper parathyroidism?
My endocrinologist said my condition is sneaky because my parathyroid hormone sometimes is 32, sometimes 65. But my blood calcium is around 10. My bone density did fall to osteoporosis at age 62. But, I have been gradually improving my bone density with correct exercise, and supplements. I likely have osteopenia now on my way to still more improvement. But, I would like to support my parathyroid glands and relax them. I go for acupuncture regularly.
Advice please! What can I take and at what dose?
Thank you!
This didn’t tell me anything but what strep throat is which I already know.. i typed in homeopathic remedies so I need the name of brands not the medicine in is wild form. I need to go buy now and Belladonna, Streptococcinum, Merc Sol, Hepar Sulph and Phytolacca dose t tell me what brand to look for👎
You don’t need the name of a brand. Brands use the names given for their remedies. Its pretty simple. Type in belladonna in amazon and it magically appears. you’re clearly new at this, so I’ll give you that but you don’t need to be so rude about it.

Hello . I have high ASO for year . It come Back every time I Finnish the antibiotics. Is been a year like this . Can you help me ?
My daughter keeps on getting recurring strep throat even after treating with Mercurius sol and streptococcicum.
What can I give her to keep it away?
When I was in my early 20’s I was constantly having strep throat. My grandfather was a homeopathic doctor so I grew up using remedies my mother knew about. Her doctor gave her medicine for me which I think was Streptoccinum and I never had strep after that. Could I safely say that was the cause of no more strep?
