A member asked:
Ive had strep throat for 2 days and its really hard to swallow but ive been getting constant fevers and ive been drinking tylenol but the fever comes back a few hours later is that normal ?

Common: Strep disease has in times past triggered fevers in excess of 103 F for days. Tylenol will never kill off strep & failure to seek proper treatment may predispose you to related long term consequences. Tylenol or other anti-fever meds rarely take more than a degree or two off the top & only while they are in the bloodstream.
