I am so sick-strep throat?!


Question: It started yesterday morning with sore throat. I took some advil and tylenol and felt better. By late evening, the pain in my throat came back with a vengence. My lympth node gland in my neck are super swollen. I can't even swallow because it hurts too much.

I also have severe lower back pain shooting down in my legs. Is this strep or the flu? I have already had my flu shot. Right now I have a major headache.
thanks

It sounds like strep, especially if you have a temp. Eventually it will burn itself out but the safest course is penicillin to prevent complications. If you have a good relationship with your doc maybe he could handle it on the phone and call it in to your pharmacy.
