What Causes Severe Sweating While Being Treated For Strep Throat?
Been sick for 3 days. Tested positive for Strep, negative for flu at a MinuteClinic yesterday. Have had five doses of penicillin as of now. Body temp is 96.5 and I m sweating profusely. Cough and nausea started today. Is that normal for Strep or should I call my family Dr?
