I found that I was out of it for about 5 weeks, but after 2 and a half I went back to work (since I work for myself and by myself it was no big deal - no chance to spread it).. I ended up not taking any anti-biotics for it, though my gf did. She ended up getting strep 3 more times before the year was out and it did not return for me. I DO NOT recomend you do that though, FOLLOW YOUR DOCTORS ADVICE. I just felt that I would let my body fight it since I was not as hard hit as the previous times I had it and it worked, I've not had it for a couple of years even though I was getting it for three or four years before that. Feel better, drink LOTS of water, an over the counter throat spray helped me a little, and others have said, sleep is the best thing.
