A member asked:

Wife and i got covid last week, she started getting a scratchy throat and now i believe she has strep, the doctor called her in a prescription for an antibiotic 3 days ago and still showing no signs of improvement?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Strep will respond to antibiotics if the diagnosis is correct. The best verification comes from simple office quick test or culture. Phoned in meds for what may just be a viral process will often fail to result in improvement. Current circulating covid strains are known to cause sore throat/headache/cough/dizziness among other problems. If needed have her seen.
