Strep Throats Back

General

Well.. If you remember 12 days ago I posted about having strep throat. I finnished my anti-biotics (Amoxicillin) Friday and on Saturday night I started feeling like crap again. Sore throat came back, slight headache. Woke up this mourning with bad sore throat, probably worse than the first time arround. The first time I had a slightly sore throat and EXTREME exhaustion, this time it's just a sore throat and a general feeling of being unwelll. I believe my throat is beginning to look like some of the pictures I posted in the blog 11 days ago.

I'm down in Houston right now and it is Sunday so I can't get a hold of my regular doctor, and being Sunday I'll probably have to go to a PrimaCare and see if I can score some more anti-biotics.

The only thing I'm really worried about is having Mono. I never got my second strep test results back and the first strep test came up negative, though I have had strep throat quite a few times and it felt exactly like strep throat so I was able to go the first day of having it, so that probably made it hard to get a good strep test.

I'm guessing what happened is last year I was also prescribed Amoxicillin to treat the strep and the Amoxicillin wasn't as effective this time, or I got a strand that is resilient to Amoxicillin. That or I have Mono, in which case the next month of my life is going to be filled with sleeping.

After reading this blog I feel like you are having the same problem as me. I have tested negative twice this week for strep, but my throat is killing me. I cannot get through the night without waking up b/c of the pain. My doctor gave me penicillin yesterday, but I feel no different. I do not have a fever or am I really that tired. I just have a horrible sore throat.

My streps mostly gone... Woke up today and my throat was sore, but I have 5 days worth of Ceftin left that I didn't take. I felt going 20 days on anti-biotics would kill my immune system too much but it looks like I should probably go ahead and take it. Hope you get over it soon.
