Diagnosed with strep 3 days ago. been on antibiotics and i have now developed this bark like cough that makes me short of breath & a fever of 100.5?

Croup?: It sounds like a croup that is an infection of the upper airways that causes swelling of the larynx and trachea. That swelling causes an airway obstruction, which makes it difficult for air to go in and out and results in hoarseness and the barking cough. Go to an urgent care center or ER for treatment, which may include steroid medication or a nebulizer with epinephrine.
