Can I Get Strep Throat Again After Completing Medication Dose?
I had strep throats a month ago, and I am feeling that I got the infection again, with cold symptoms. I've got NyQuil last night but I am feeling so tired and dizzy all day , without any improvement. Do you think I can get the bacterial infection again in one month even if I finish my antibiotic medication last time?

Hi, thanks for the query.
There are chances you have bacterial infection again if you are having follicular tonsillitis earlier or taken inadequate course of antibiotic or infection resistant to antibiotic.
In my opinion
Use antiseptic mouthwash , Plenty of fluids , Paracetemol + Ibuprofen combination , Antihistaminic levocetirizine + Montelukast , Antibiotic azithromycin , Vit C for 5 days.
Hope this information helpful to you, take care and have a nice day.
