A member asked:

I still have swollen lymph nodes and slight sore throat after strep treatment. why? i finished 10 day amoxicillin prescription ~5 days ago.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sore troat: The infection may have been a virus therefore the medication would not have been effective. Also if it was a bacterial infection then there's is alot of resistance to amoxil (amoxicillin). Check back in with your primary care doctor. They may want to reexamine you.
