A member asked:
I just finished a ten course amoxicillin two times a day for strep throat two days ago. my throat looks okay but my throat is still somewhat sore. could i still have strep lingering?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly, still some minor irritation. I would try to gargle with warm water with some baking soda, and salt mixed in the water. Also, warm soup, tea, and other liquids. I think this will offer some soothing effects.
