Suggest Remedy For Strep Throat With Headache And Chest Pain

I have strep throat (not group A), have had this terrible sickness for the past week. I am on Amoxicillin and have been taking Ibuprofen religiously every 6 hours. Last night I was very nautious and ended up vomiting. I had a severe headache for hours before that. In the middle of the night I woke up with a feeling that something was sitting on top of my chest, it literally felt like i had heart pain, my left shoulder was in great pain and my arm was very restless.

Hi,

you should have had Amoxicillin with clavulanic acid (500 + 125) mg tables twice daily which should have taken care of your sore throat due to strep. Moreover you need to rinse your throat very frequently so that the congestion and heaviness will be addressed.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
