Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does Sore Throat Along With Fever And Body Ache Indicate?
Woke up in the early morning with a sore throat fever glands in neck swollen and sore. Body aches. Had all symptoms for Aroind 4 days. I started taking amoxicillin the next evening and I feel that’s what made me get better. Have had cough for around two weeks. Nasal drainage making me cough. Is it possible that I had strep throat. I work in an elementary school clinic so I am exposed to illnesses all the time.
I read your query and I understand your concern. It looks like you are suffering from tonsillitis and Amoxicillin is the right antibiotic for it. To prove that you have streptococcal infection you have to do a throat secretions culture. The only way it is contracted is by oral secretions. I don't think this situation is related to the situation of two weeks ago.
Hope my answer was helpful.
Best Regards.
