Had anyone got rid of strep throat without taking antibiotics?

Hi fluther,
So I’ve just been on antibiotics for 7 days for an infected sebaceous cyst, that’s healed but now 4 days off antibiotics I may have strep throat. Funny thing is is that I think I may have had strep throat whilst on antibiotics and the antibiotics inadvertently cured the strep and infection and then I went off too early (for the strep) and now it’s forming a resistance. That’s my paranoid thinking. So if I have strep throat they will put me back on antibiotics! I really don’t want to go back on antibiotics especially after a couple of months ago I had to take double dose for h pylori. I really think I need a break. I will ask my Dr if I have to take them but… has anyone cured their mild strep throat just through natural means? Anyone know if I could have created a super bug without knowing by taking the antibiotics for one thing when I actually had another thing! I’m really over winter! Thanks guys
