This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I am at a loss on what to write. The way you are taking remedies you will get anything but cure.
The right single remedy will take you to full cure, not this hodge podge.
Ask someone on this site to choose a single remedy for you.

When a remedy begins to work ( the hep sulph) you stop taking
doses and wait for things to return before taking another dose.
You probably took too much Hep Sulph and then should have
waited and see if the tingling and cough part would wear off.
Aconite is for the first stage of illness that began most of the time,
from being out in a cold wind or changeable weather. You
are now proving the Aconite- which is given for swollen
tonsils, meaning you did not need Aconite and so are now
having symptoms you did not have before from Aconite.
Then you took Strep ??? Stop taking anything. Let this stuff wear off
and take Vitamin C up to 5000 mg a day broken up into
individual doses. Drink hot water with fresh half of lemon squeezed
in and a little honey.
Things should wear off in a couple days hopefully, if not you
have to antidote what you took.

I agree, you are not using homoeopathy appropriately. You are taking a great risk by taking multiple remedies in this way, and it is possible you will harm yourself. This is not how homoeopathy works, jumping from one remedy to another for different symptoms - one remedy is given for the whole picture.
You may want to present a proper list of symptoms here and someone with some experience of homoeopathic prescribing could guide you.

One might want to wait a day or two to see what new symptoms
are going to show up from the Strep 200.

You don't need to antidote. You just need to be given the correct remedy, based on a proper description of all the symptoms.
Of course, as Simone717 has said, you may not even need a remedy. Most acute illnesses simply resolve themselves, and taking remedies for them only runs a risk of complicating the experience.
However it is quite possible you have suppressed your symptoms and this might be more serious now.
HOW TO DESCRIBE YOUR COMPLAINTS
In homoeopathy, prescription is based on precise details of various symptoms from which you suffer. To tell or write to a homoeopathic physician 'I have a headache ', ' an eruption ' or a cough would not be enough. If you inform him 'I have headache with sharp shooting pains in the left side of the head and temple, these pains always come on when the slightest cold air strikes the head. I feel better by pressing the head very hard. Then only you have given all the information required for making a good homoeopathic prescription. The success of the prescription depends; largely on how detailed your description of the symptoms is.
We require the following details about your symptoms.
LOCATION: Please give the exact location of sensation, pain or eruption. Also describe where the pain or sensation spreads.
SENSATION: Express the type of sensation or the pain that you get in your own words however simple or funny it may seem. You may have a sensation that a mouse is crawling or the heart was grasped by an iron hand or you may have a pain that is cutting, burning jerking, pressing. Express the sensation or pain as it feels to you. Try to explain the whole sensation in the exact way it is happening and not just the word. We need to understand the whole process of the sensation as it is happening to you.
WHAT MAKES YOU WORSE OR BETTER: Many factors are likely to influence your complaint. Some factors may intensify it and some factors may relieve the trouble. A detailed list of the factors is given at the end. Please refer it while describing each of your troubles and indicate which factors make the complaint better or worse.
DISCHARGES: You may have a discharge from nose, ears, mouth, eyes, ulcers, fistula, eruptions on skin, private parts, etc. Please describe your discharge under the following aspects.
The quantity and the time or condition under which the quantity varies i.e. when is it better or worse, when does it increase or decrease?
The consistency: Is it thin or thick, stringy or clotted?
Is it like jelly, white of an egg, like water, sticky forming a scab etc.?
The odour, what does it remind you of?
Does it make the parts sore, and in what way?
1] Your Complaint:
(Use your own words as far as possible, but if you have recognized or diagnosed the condition, give this information also.)
