There are several good ways to do this: Use a bulb syringe (available in most drug stores) filled with warm tap water or normal saline (you can use a large bottle of saline solution for contact lenses if you're in a pinch).

Strep is short for Streptococcus, a type of bacteria. There are two types: group A and group B. Group A strep causes. 1  Strep throat-a sore, red throat, sometimes with white spots on the tonsils. 2  Scarlet fever-an illness that follows strep throat. 3  It causes a red rash on the body.
Strep throat is caused by streptococcal bacteria (strep) in the throat and often the tonsils. Symptoms include sudden severe sore throat, pain swallowing, a fever over 101oF, swollen tonsils and lymph nodes, and white or yellow spots or a reddened back of the throat. Strep throat is highly contagious, with a two-to-five day incubation period.
