A member asked:
Is it normal for strep throat pain to spread to neck and head. i am on cephalexin for three days but this pain has not still gone away. ?

Check dosage/diagnos: You may be getting suboptimal dose of cephalexin or you may have another problem, as infectious mononucleosis, a viral pharyngitis, can co-exist. Yes pharyngitis pain can spread, but usually abates with the start of treatment after one or two days, goodluck
