If you have been diagnosed with strep throat by a doctor, you need an anti-biotic. Strep throat is caused from the streptococcus bacteria. It is contagious.

You should follow your physician's advice, but these resources may help.  \n\nThe link is from the US National Library of Medicine Website (medlineplus.gov).\n\nI hope you feel better.

I'm not sure you have a cold.  My daughter started out the same way and has been ill for the past 4 weeks.  The doctor told her she has a bacterial infection and put her on antibiotics.  She has been awfully weak, like you, had coughing spells, then she came down with the sniffles and ear infection.  I suggest you see a doctor and have him prescribe the proper medication.  You may need to give a blood sample to determine if it is a cold or an infection.  In either case, I hope you see a professional and get the help you need.  Get well soon!!!!

Keep in contact with your doctor, sometimes the antibiotic they give you the first time doesn't work on the problem, and they have to try something else. If you trust your doctor and the problem still exists, and the condition continues to have your face swollen, like mumps, asked to be referred to an Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist.\n\nGood Luck

It sounds as though you're coming down with a cold or possibly a throat infection.  Since this has apparently come on rather suddenly, I'd put money on it being a strep infection.  If it's still hurting by the time your doctor's office opens, call them and make an appointment to be seen; if it's just a virus, there's no harm done, and if it's strep, it should be treated promptly.

Your going through exactly what i am i am shamed terrified everything! My doctor put me on to an excellent dentist and he didnt yell he was so nice and freindly and did not say one bad thing about me. I need all mine pulled wisdom too apart from 7 lower front ones. I coudlnt make an app my mother had to, i even freaked out during the xray! My doctor gave me a mild quick sedative that lasts about an hour to calm nerves before they put me under, maybe talk to your local doctor. I have seen the dentist now i feel better but i am still scared and petrified! I can fill you in more about my history if we can contact via email, not sure but happy to tell you what i have done to combat my fear in the last week weeks if it helps you :) Gee my husband doesnt even know how bad my mouth is and i only opened up to my mum 5 weeks ago! Good luck i wish you well (i just have to get thru it first too

It doesn't hurt to get a second opinion, but your doctor may believe that your infection is viral, and if so antibiotics wouldn't help.  There are several causes of tonsillitis.  \n\nThese sites may help you figure out what to do.

my daughter has had strep i bet a hundred times since she was born (she's 10 now) and the pain and irratation that they have to deal with will cause those problems in kids. another side affect is weight loss because it hurts too much to eat. i was finally able to get my daughters tonsils taken out and now she is turning back into a real kid:):):)

I'm not a doctor but I can say from experience, you could be feeling sick from something you ate, or you could have a virus.  Try eating saltines ... that always make me feel better.  If you're not feeling any better tomorrow, you should seek medical advice.  Hope you're feeling better soon.

try gargling with salt water and taking some aspirins, but more than likely you need an antibiotic so best bet is to see a doctor. whatever you do dont scrape anything off your tonsills with a needle. thats barbaric!

It's a swollen lymph node, and this is common with strep throat. However, since you are the last day of antibiotics, I would call your doctor for advice and make an appointment if he or she thinks it is necessary.\n\nStrep throat can in some cases lead to scarlet fever, so please err on the side of caution.

Stop taking the throat losanges.  They may make you feel good now, but they tend to dry out the throat and make the problem worse.  They definately don't seem to be curing you of anything.  \n\nIf it keeps bothering you, go back to the doctor; you may have something besides strep throat, which would be the only thing antibiotics would work on.

What I think you DON'T have is a doctor appointment...what I think you do have is a throat infection of some kind. Go see the doctor so you can get well and not spread anything to anybody else.

Go to the ER or Nearest Immediate Care Clinic. Chances are you have strep or tonsilitis but throat swelling can be an allergic reaction to something you ate or took. If that is the case you will need to go to the ER.
