Monday I was diagnosed with Strep throat. Given an antibiotic. My symptoms have worsened. The uvula is swollen, white spots, laying on the back of my tongue and is raw. Swiping with a q-tip reveals some traces of blood. My throat is so sore that it is difficult to swallow. My glands are swollen and I have lots of white spots in the area of my tonsils, back of the roof of my mouth and even on my gums behind my molars. I have take the antibiotic 2x a day for 3 days. I am miserable, difficulty swallowing food as well as saliva. Warm salt water just sets my mouth on fire. Any suggestions?
