Pandas son; mom bad strep won't go away, help

[TracyRee]

I was diagnosed with strep on New Years Eve through rapid culture. I had a cold the week prior with sore throat and ear ache starting on Dec 30

 

I've been on Augmentin for 6 days and am still in excruciating pain. My throat looks like ground beef.

 

Daughter was diagnosed last night after taking her just to be sure (no symptoms)

 

Is there anything I can do to get rid of mine aside from antibiotics? I can't keep going like this.

it sounds like the augmentin is not working and it would be worth trying a different antibiotic. You usually get some relief in about 48 hours. I would give the prescribing doc a call and see if they will write you a new Rx.
