There are several: Rather than change a med that does kills strep because you think it fails, you may want to investigate why she gets it repeatedly. Some people carry strep without disease. If a family member or close friend is passing it to her often, they need to be found & the cycle stopped.

My daughter has been on amoxicillin for a little over 60 hours for strep throat. Last night before bed she had a fever of 103. She was about 48 hrs after amoxicillin at that point. Should she still be having a fever after 5 doses?
