What to do if i am pregnant and diagnosed with strep throat. dr prescribed antibiotics but my sore throat is almost gone.?

Finish your meds: Strep throat often feels better in 3-4 days whether you get abx or not. Most docs use Abx in pregnant women that are safe for the baby, so you don't want to quit thinking its for the baby.Baby needs a mom who is healthy and not at risk for complications from stopping the meds.
