Best antibiotic for strep throat? i've had a post strep reaction last year so need something that will for sure knock it out. taken many abx recently

Depends: Strep is universally sensitive to the penicillin based drugs. You need to replace your toothbrush & avoid re-exposure to a source if you seem to have a persistent infection or get it again often.

Strep throat (although tonsils look clear). Took 1 of 3 Azithromycin 500mg last night. Today tonsils look visibly worse. Wondering if: A) the antibiotic's not working B) working just need to give more time C) I'm contagious (told I wasn't after 24hr)?
