Holy crap on a pogostick! Strep throat is a bacterial infection cause by a group-A Streptococcus bacteria. Eating a whole tube of toothpaste will probably cause vomiting, and if it doesn't it will make you really sick. Most of what is in toothpaste is benign in small pea sized doses, but in large doses like that. I couldn't even imagine.
The thing with strep throat is that it will go away in a week or so. Antibiotics can be used, but that will just shorten your contagious period.
For the love of Bill don't eat toothpaste.
