Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had strep for three months 4 different antibiotics has not taken care of it. Now i am on two different antibiotics for 10 days. i am on day 4 and i do not feel any better yet. My temp has been 96-97 but i have no energy and u do not understand why these antibiotics are not working .
You will have to undergo 2 tests, the first being called 'Throat Swab test with Culture & sensitivity of the causative organisms.' and the other test will be Hemogramme for the haemoglobin & your white cells, red cells, platelet counts. After you undergo the tests, you will get its report on 4th day, i.e. after 72 hours. Till that time you may begin with T. Azithromycin 500 mg once daily & gargling with antiseptic oral gargles solution.
An Eliza test to rule out possible HIV infection can be done, because you are not responding to antibiotics for 3 months.
