Recurrent strep: infection occurs about 10% of the time, in spite of taking the antibiotic, and more often if one stops the medication after feeling better instead of completing the course. In the lab, strep is very sensitive to penicillin, but not all people absorb it well or may have other bacteria in their throat that make it less effective. Get another culture and other med. Possible other germ like mono.

I went to the doctor with symptoms common with strep throat but it came back negative. I have only had a sore throat, fatigue, and fevers for about three days and Im starting to feel better. Even though Im feeling better, could i still have mono?
