Suggest Treatment For Strep Throat And Swollen Lymph Glands While On Ampicillin

I was diagnosed with strep throat on Friday and put on ampicillin. I have more white patches than I did yesterday, and my lymph glands are so swollen my neck feels stiff. Would I be considered too contagious to go to work on Monday? And should I schedule another appointment with the doctor?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi
thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Better to take antibiotic therapy in your case. I would suggest broad spectrum antibiotics like Co-amoxiclav in such case. It is a prescription drug given in dosage of 625mg twice daily for 5 to7 days according to severity.
thanks
