A member asked:
I was diagnosed with strep throat two weeks ago and have pus on my tonsils again, should i go to the doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
? you want treatment: Many sore throats are viral and true strep is killed easily by a variety of antibiotics.That said, you can get strep on multiple occasions and re-infection would require another round of treatment.They get better in a few days either way, but you risk complications and continue to spread it if not treated.
