4 year old child running high temp 102-103.4 for over 5 days and finally (after 32 visits to a Dr.) being diagnosed with strep throat. Antibiotics given , fever gone but child still ill, sleepy and just not herself after 48 hours on amoxil. Should we see another Dr. or give antibotics more time ?

Hello,
Let me tell you that amoxycillin is an effective antibiotic for streptococcal throat infection. As your child's symptoms are much better now, you should wait for another couple of days for her to be on amoxycillin and believe me she is going to be perfectly alright.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Prabhash Verma, General & Family Physician
