Diagnosed with strep and prescribed z pack. still had strep and was prescribed clindamycin.still have mucus feeling in throat after finishing medicine

Drink lots of water: drink lots of water and juices - if not getting better after clindamycin, see ENT physician and get a couture of your throat. Do you still have your tonsils??

A member asked:

Had strep, was on the Z-Pak. Symptoms improved but throat was still sore and the ear bothered me. Now on clindamycin for 10 days for an ear infection. Ear feels less sore/full but throat on the right side is sore. Could this be drainage from the ear?
