He said I should have felt much better by last night because of the shot. this evening my throat is so swollen I cant barely eat, drink or talk, and still have a fever. gargled with salt water a little while ago and spit out pus and a little blood with it. should I get back to the Dr? I m a mess..please help? Glenn

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a resistant infection. For this reason, switching to another antibiotic may be needed. I would also recommend performing a throat discharge bacterial culture in order to find this proper antibiotics which can help fight the infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
