Strep Throat
"I was diagnosed after 1.5 days of an itchy, painful throat,  giant tonsils and swollen lymphs. I had hot flashes but never a fever. Rapid test was positive so the Urgent Care doc prescribed Amox 500mg one tablet threes times a day for 10 days. I finally began to feel better after day 3. I also developed bronchitis and an asthma exacerbation.
Ugh. I stopped the antibiotics on day 8, which was yesterday, just because as a nurse,  I&#039;m a bad patient. ;)
I didn&#039;t have any stomach upset or diarrhea which really surprised me. All is well , just getting the asthma in check with Prednisone."
