A member asked:

I have been taking amoxicillin for my strep throat for 2 days now but my tonsils are larger and covered in more white dots than before. what do i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Be patient: The germ had at least a day head start before you went in for diagnosis. It takes time for the meds to kill the germs and the injured tissues to begin repair. Strep A us universally killed by amoxicillin. If your strep A was confirmed by quick test & you don't have another issue like mono, it will begin to respond in a few days. Try gargling with salty water (spit it out) .It helps strip the white
