Need reassessment: You need to go back to that doctor and let him or her know you aren't improving. It is not likely due to antibiotic choice, as most pharyngitis is viral if strep negative. Need to reevaluate for other diagnoses, a process only your doctor should do. If you see a new doctor, they will not have the benefit of seeing how you presented at first.
