Appetite Loss
There are so many reasons a patient with strep throat can lose his or her appetite. Since you have a lot of abnormalities and discomfort going on in your mouth, it is normal to lose your sense of taste and have a reduced desire to eat. What you do in this case is to try and consume fluids and foods that will soothe your throat such as broth, ice-cream, frozen yogurt, ice chips, etc. Because of loss of appetite, it is likely for you to suffer malnutrition and weight loss. Therefore, you have to make sure you eat foods rich in calories and proteins.[5]
