Strep Throat
So as many of you know, I had my appendix out on Monday night. Before I was told I needed to have my appendix removed, I was diagnosed with strep throat.
I've been taking augmiten twice a day since Wednesday now. The white spots on the back of my throat actually seemed to go away for a while, but now they're back in full force. Only a slightly sore throat, no fever, no other symptoms. Is this normal? I've had a lot of anxiety due to the surgery. I'm just curious as to whether or not I should finish my antibiotic course before calling the Dr. back? |

Hot tea, couple splashes of Jack Daniels and a tablespoon of honey. Best throat medicine.

Ive had my bouts with this shit. Take the full prescription of meds first and foremost, and keep taking them until they are gone, even if your symptoms seem to be gone and you feel great.
If symptoms persist after the meds are gone, then you need to consult the doctor. First thing he's going to ask you is "Have you taken all of the medication?" when your answer is no, he's going to blow you off until you've completed the prescription.

I also smoked a couple packs this week too. I did a good job quitting, but the stress from all this shit falling on my lap at once really got to me. I'm sure the smoking hasn't helped.

ALWAYS finish your antibiotics.
It's the #1 contributor to antibiotic resistance. |

This is the most important thing. It's not just about finishing them to get better.
