How long does a throat infection/viral infection last?

How long is a throat infection contagious for?

  • On monday, I had a really bad sore throat so I went to the doctor's on tuesday morning. My doctor told me I had a throat infection and gave me some antibiotics. I've been taking them and plan to until they're gone, but I want to know if I'm still contagious. I spent tuesday and part of wednesday in bed because I could hardly swallow, but yesterday it barely hurt and today it didn't at all.. So, would I still be contagious tomorrow? It'll be the first time I see my boyfriend in 3 months, that's all.. Thanks in advance.

  • Answer:

    Antibiotics for 24 hours and if your not running a temp you should be o.k. but I would try to keep your mouth to yourself and be careful with contact.
