Took penicillin vk 4xday x6days. every day had chills, joint pain, sore throat and ill feeling. dr advised to stop taking. how long til i feel better?

Ill feeling: I really need more information to answer this question appropriately. I am not sure why you were on the antibiotics in the first place. Maybe you had a virus and you will get better soon. If you are not feeling better you will need to get on a nasal steroid to help the sore throat and the ill feeling. Take some Motrin for the joint pain. See how you feel in the next few days. good luck!
