How do I deal with strep throat?

He needs to treat with another antibiotic you may be resistant to the one he prescribed. I had strep and it invaded my lymph glands causing swelling and crushing of my trachea. I had to have a emergency trach and was hosp for 4 weeks. There are many strains out there and it should not be taken lightly be persistent .Antibiotics should have taken effect within 48 hours go see the Dr. and demand she see you immediately ! SOURCE nurse
