What Is The Treatment For Strep Throat ?

My 8 month old has a raspy voice and hoarse cough. He was diagnosed with Strep throat 3 days ago and given an antibiotic. He doesn't seem to be getting better. His cough seems worse and he is very cranky. By the way, the fever has been low grade, below 101.

i would like you to meet your doctor again as it looks like that the infection s spreading to his lungs and he will need to change the antibiotics and may need supervised medical care. Please dont delay and meet your doctor as soon as possible.

Thanks
