What Causes Swelling And Intermittent Pain In Throat?

My throat has been quite sore off and on for the last couple of days. The left side of my throat is somewhat swollen and it is occasionally painful to swallow. I have had strep throat two times in the last 6 months, and I find it hard to believe that I have it again. I have an electronic cigerette that I smoke frequently throughout the day, however I have reduced my intake over the past couple of days due to my throat. I have left over Penicillin from the last time I had strep throat, but it will only last me three days. Is it a bad idea to take the medication to help reduce the swelling?

For sore throat you have to take some antibiotic after an expert opinion of your physician preferably azithromycin once daily with some decongestants like wikoryl or diominic-dca every 8-12 hours with rantac or omez empty stomach. For soothing effect you have to take syrup bro-zedex or syrup asthakind every 8-12 hours. Take steam inhalation at-least three to four times daily as it will reduce the congestion and discomfort of your throat.
