Duration
Most sore throats are often better in a few days, typically between 2 and 7 days. However, some serious cases require more time and special treatments to recover fully. The duration for a strep throat is typically longer. After the bacteria infect the body, it might take around 2 to 5 days for initial symptoms to appear. Without antibiotics, this condition would last more than 10 days or even worse. Once you have started taking drugs, the infection will subside within 3 to 5 days. Earlier detection and treatment can help reduce the duration and allow for quicker recovery. [7]
