A member asked:
I have a bad case of strep throat infected white pus pockets all over my throat taking amoxicillin not working can you prescribe something stronger?

Throat still sore: Since your symptoms are still there despite treatment, it appears that either the strep germ was resistant to the amoxicillin or that a virus (such as mono or CMV) was also present along with the strep. Or maybe both! It will take a visit to your doctor to sort this out.
