I have strep throat–AGAIN. Yesterday afternoon I noticed my throat was a little bit sore. It started just like last time–it hurt on one side, and the back of my throat just felt swollen. I thought I would watch it for the night, and if it kept getting worse, I’d go in and get a culture.

I got up around 1:00am and had to take some Ibuprofen because it was hurting so badly. I woke up in the morning feeling pretty good. I was a little tired, but besides my throat hurting I felt OK. But, by the afternoon I knew it was strep again.

I went to the clinic, and the strep screen was positive. Dr. Ferriter said that I probably never got rid of it last time. Apparenlty the PA I saw, didn’t give me the right dose of Biaxin. Nice! I’m on Zithromax now, so I am hoping that it goes away this time!
