Got strep throat again 2 days after completing antibiotics? should i have had higher dose or different one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Strep???: How do you know it's strep? Antibiotics only treat bacterial infections. Most sore throats are caused by viruses and should not be treated with antibiotics.
