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?

You should probably go ahead and finish the antibotics, but they likely aren't doing shit anyway. Docs give out antibiotics like candy, even though they are worthless against a virus, which is generally what causes strep throat.
