Strep throat: If your doctor is treating you for strep throat it may not influence the severity and duration of your symptoms. The purpose of the penvk is to prevent the development of post-streptococcal acute rheumatic fever. Give this time, you will get better. If you are having any trouble breathing, then go back to the doctor asap. Stay on course, be well and good luck.
