Hey, about a month ago I went to the doctor for sore throat with white patches, looked like strep. So without doing a strep test, they diagnosed strep and began to treat me for it. a week in the patches had started to clear and fever started to leave, but then came back.
They then moved me onto a stronger antibiotic thinking the strain I had was resistant. I finished out the cycle, and my throat was looking pretty much clear with just a little residual patches.
The patches in the last week without the antibiotics have come back, one huge one just on my left tonsil. Looks just like before, except instead of many smaller ones its just one large.
I am losing faith in my doctor who didn't even do a strep test. I'm on an HMO so I'm stuck with him. Does anyone know what this could be?
During my use of antibiotics (first amox-clav/augmentin, then clarithromycin) I had painful swollen lymph nodes, those went away after I finished my antibiotics
