I have Strep Throat and its the worst. D:?
Most pain in the throat is viral in origin and does not need antibiotic meaning it resolves spontaneously with supportive treatment. I think you need to go back to your doctor and ask for a throat swab to confirm whether it is caused by a strep bacteria or not. If it is and it did not respond to amoxycillin, a different antibiotic must be given. Take note that frequent untreated strep throat may lead to rheumatic fever or rheumatic heart disease. By the way, is swallowing pills are difficult, there a liquid forms but the dose should be adjusted.
