What Causes Persistent Strep Throat Despite Taking Medication?
Question: I was Dx with strep, I have finished my ABO Z-pack but I still feel like my throat is closing on itself. And I can feel a large filled pocket in the back of my mouth on the rt. side. I'm at times unable to speak because I sound so strange. I can't eat r/t swallowing is way to difficult. I can't sleep I wake up in pain every 4 hours when MAPAP wears off or Ibp. I don't know if I should go back or what.
Brief Answer:
I will suggest you get re-evaluated after this treatment!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. Following all the information you have reported, this may be a complication of strep throat which results in abscess collection. This will present as a mass and will cause symptoms very similar to what you have reported. I will suggest that the doctor re-evaluate you after this treatment to make sure that we are not missing out on any potential complication.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
