It is my 3rd day of taking cephalexin and i feel a tight feeling around throat. no rash or other symptoms. could it be from the medication or illness?

Why are you on abx?: Well first of all what was your diagnosis. Chances are the antibiotic is just beginning to work now. If you are on the antibiotic for upper respiratory issues most likely from the illness. An allergic reaction would be more widespread but see how you progress
