Suggest Treatment Strep Throat And Tonsillitis
My doctor wasn t sure if I had strep throat or tonsillitis but she perscribed me Z-pak and just this morning, I looked in the mirror and checked my tonsils (mind you, they were horribly swollen and practically all white) and the white was pretty much gone! Can z-pak really work that quickly?

Hi, thanks for your query.
If I were your treating doctor, I would have prescribed penicillin antibiotics + anti inflammatory medicines like paracetamol + diclofenac combination drugs twice daily for 3 to 5 days. Steam inhalation daily twice may be helpful. hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
