what food to get for a strep throat

[bentothejam1n]

My sister had to stay home from school today with strep throat and I've decided to to get her something from panera or starbucks. I've never had strep so i don't know what it feels like. My question is what should i get for her food wise?

A steaming cup of saltwater to gargle. Does wonders.

/never heard of panera
//caramel apple cider form starbucks.

If she is staying home from school than she is too young to drink, but moonshine will kill a sore throat on contact.

I would think some type of soup. nothing with big chunks in it.

Wow. I wish we had those. Pecan rolls mmmmmmm

grr.
"There aren't yet any Panera Bread bakery-cafes in the state of Arizona. If you wish, you can try your search again ."

haha!
But I guess we have too many Mexican food places for them that would be sandwich competition.

Liquids only.... Anything solid will be hell going down. I have an issue with getting a case of strep once a year.. Haven't had mine yet this year *crosses fingers*. But seriously the only thing I can handle is soup/broth because the pain caused by anything solid is absolutely unbearable. Tell your sister I sympathize. Hope she gets better soon.

Strep throat feels like a sore throat times 1000. As suggested stick with liquids. I'd suggest cool ones.

You may want to get her a gift card so when she gets better she will enjoy the gift. Right now, swallowing is probably low on her "want to do" list.

i know i loved java chip frappachino's when i had a sore throat.

mmm nice, thick cold chocolate milkshake works too.

agreed....nothing tastes good when you have strep...go rent/buy her a movie to take her mind off her sickness

I just got over strep and then picked up a colon infection Worst week ever. When I had strep though, I had no appetitie and only wanted water or gingerale. Sprite was too sweet. So maybe go buy her some bottles of gingerale, seven-up, and water.

Hot liquids. I drank cups of hot chicken broth with little pasta beads in it. Forget what that's called...

[WaffleBaron]

I always have Tomato soup and if I feel up to it a grilled cheese sandwich to dip in it. I've had Strep and Scarlet fever concurrently before and it's no fun.

[spike_ball999]

Any good hot tea. Mmm tea. Maybe some slightly overcooked ramen? At least it's different than soup.

I had strep and bronchitis at the same time when I was 12. I could have sworn I went without breathing.

I never had strep, but I had mono, which gives you pretty much the same throat symptoms, and you don't want to think about food. I lived off applesauce and jello for a week.

Ugh, bad flashback. It was miserable.
