Will Biaxin 500mg Cure Strep That Has Recurred After Treatment With Azithromycin 500mg?

35 year old male - otherwise in good health. On no medications other than what was perscribed below. I was diagnosed with strep about 2 weeks ago and given 5 day supply of azithromycin 500 mg tablets because I m allergic to penicillin. Felt pretty good after the 5 days and returned to work/normal activity. I woke up this morning with the same symptoms from 2 weeks ago and tested positive for strep again. This time I was given biaxin. Take 2 500mg pills once daily for 10 days. Will this clear up strep once and for all? Tired of feeling like this. Anything else I can do? Have a preemie 21 month old at home too and trying to keep him out of harms way while getting better.

hello, Are those tongue bumps as same clour as tongue or any other color? Is it painful , difficult to eat due to irritation? usually color changes due to irritation, stress, hormonal changes and viral fever. Usually color changes to red or white. we dont have to do any treatment for the above discribed tongue bumps because they would go on their own.
Are those tongue bumps very painful? if so , it canbe an aphthous ulcer. Those ulcers also would disapear on their own. if those ulcers increase in size and also make it difficult to swallow, we have to see our doctor for topical creams. hope this helps thanks.
