Sore Throat, Swollen Lymph Nodes, Body Pain. Taking Antibiotics, No Improvement. Suggestions?
I went to an American Family Care clinic on last Friday. I have an extremely sore throat, lymph nodes swollen in neck and under chin. My throat is still red and very sore and my body aches. I stay weak and tired. Last Friday I got a shot of rocefin (sp?) and torodal and then Amoxicillin by mouth 3 times a day since then, along with Lydocaine I can use twice a day. This being the 5th day on the antibiotics, shouldn't I feel better by now? They said the strep culture was negative. Should I wait longer or go back to the doctor?
