Sore throat is usually viral in origin. And last time I checked, Streptococcus required antibiotics not salt.

Ask your doctor.

Same issue. Been off the bike for a week already. At least I have more time to recover as I am only racing Berg and Bush in October (but still need to train).

 

I am on Zinnit antibiotic for pharyngitis which I think also treats Strep.

 

SUCKS BIG TIME!!!!! Third antibiotic in a month

Wait till your ears and nose clear before doing anything - and what is done training wise is done - better to go in healthy and slightly out of shape than still carrying an infection.
