Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your complain if you have strep throat your must know that strep throat is a bacterial infection and antibiotics are needed to be taken to relieve from the sore throat caused by bacteria.

The medicine nyquil which you are taking does not contain any antibiotic constituent and it acts only as cough reliever,decongestant,and tylenol acts as fever reducer and mild pain reliever..

For relief from strep throat a complete course of antibiotics like amoxicillin has to be taken.

I would suggest you to consult a doctor first and get your checkup done so that proper diagnosis can be made and treatment can be executed..

Hope your query is solved..

Thanks and regards..
