For the last four days, i have had a terribly sore throat. It's painful to talk, EXTREMELY painful to swallow, and my lymph nodes are tender. I also feel like I'm salivating an excessive amount, and constantly have to spit it out because its so painful to swallow. I have a frontal headache that comes and goes, an earache in both ears that comes and goes, and I used to have a fever, now I just feel warm sometimes. I went to an urgent care today and they prescribed amoxicillin -- however, I did not connect my excessive saliva with a symptom, and only just relized my lymh nodes are tender. Is there anything i can do besides taking amoxicillin as ordered? Also, what do i have?
