Go see your doctor: You may have strep pharyngitis for which your penicillin will work but it takes time. If you have a viral pharyngitis, then no antibiotics will work and it'll still take time. Best to go see your doc to determine which you have. Good luck! and check out http://www.Mdcalc.Com/modified-centor-score-for-strep-pharyngitis/ if you're curious as to how we improve our diagnostic acumen.
