A member asked:

Strep test came back negative but took zpack for 3 days nothing happened now i'm on my 2nd day of amoxicillin but still have puss pockets and sore thr?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pharyngitis: Persistent throat infection needs to be reevaluated by your doctor. The 3 days of zpak was less than the optimal duration of 5 days, and if the throat infection is due to a bacteria that is resistant to zithromycin then 2 days of Amoxicillin is too soon to determine failure of the antibiotic. Was a throat culture obtained?
