Diagnosed at primecare with presumed pharyngitis. took full zpak, but both sides of throat are still swollen. what's the next step i should take?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends..: If no clinical relief......you have Mono. If clinical relief....but partial- wait for 5 days you will be better. Zithromycin starts working after the last pill and continue to work for 5days after it.
