Sorethroat-strepthroat? Posted: 04-21-05 10:46am
Check with your doctor to find out whether
it is strepthroat or not. He can do a
small test to find out. And remember to
take all the antibiotics. Do not stop in
the middle even if you feel better.

Have been back to gp as I had allergic
reaction to penicillin!!( which I shouldnt
have been given) he says my throat is just
a virus andnothing to worry about!
2 days after stopping penicillin,
started having heart racing alll the time
and getting short of breath. Went back to
oncall dr, who tested my oxygen satuation
which was 100%.
Awoke this morning and sore throat
back, really had enough! Nobody seems to
want to help, and just think of me as
being a hypochondriac!!!! :(
