Strep Throat
"I was prescribed this drug Clarithromycin (500mg twice a day) on a Wed morning for Strep throat. It is now Sat (in an hour it will be) and I feel like my strep has gotten worse. My tonsils are enormous and covered in white gunk (they weren&#039;t this bad on Wed), it&#039;s extremely difficult to swallow, and now it feels like it&#039;s plugging up my ears. I&#039;ve had a 102 fever for 48-72 hours which finally broke friday so I&#039;m not sure if that was from Strep or the medication but sleeping was near impossible with so much restlessness &amp; sweating buckets. I feel like I need to sleep for a week but I&#039;m unable to sleep well.  I&#039;ve also had a headache &amp; teeth have been jittery (I don&#039;t know how else to describe that). I&#039;ve had diarrhea on Fri too. Disappointed"
