Lymph node infection: Presumably this is outside the mouth, maybe on the neck? It sounds like you have a seriously infected lymph node that now is draining. You should see a doctor ASAP: you probably need an antibiotic (perhaps a diffeent one than given for your strep throat), and perhaps minor surgery to assure complete drainage. Good luck.
