Rinsing with hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, won’t injured you provided it isn't swallowed but, it won’t cure Strep Throat. Hydrogen peroxide isn't antibacterial. Many bacteria produce the enzyme catalase which breaks down H2O2 into oxygen and water. The reason it foams is due to the release of oxygen bubbles.
Your red blood cells and the fluid between your tissues also contain catalase. So, a sterile cut will still bubble. The bubbling or foaming helps remove debris and dirt from wounds, cuts, scratches, etc. It won’t kill the bacteria that causes Strep Throat.
Answer:
Two parts peroxide to one part water…gargle on and off for as long as you can. Your mouth will turn white inside but thats ok…it means its working. Just be careful to not swallow it! Good luck!
I’ve strep right now too and it sucks!
Answer:
not sure if you try it DO NOT SWALLOW, it might not get all of it though and it will just come back typically with strep you want medicine, go see the physician and hell give you what you need
