Diagnosed with strep throat. 3 doses of keflex. pain wakes me from sleep and it's severe. i am having severe pain swallowing any food/drink and saliva?

It happens: It is too early to say the meds are not working. If this is truly strep and not mono you will improve soon.Comfort measures with gargling, throat lozenges, chilled fluids can help.Ibuprofen for pain is helpful. Mono would just take longer to get better.You can have both at the same time.
