How long does it take for Strep Throat to go away. I have been taking Biaxin since Thursday.  I still have the white patches of infection, fever, body aches, muscle and body fatigue.  I also have an ear infection and sinus infection to go along with it.  Normally when I take antibiotics for strep I feel pretty good at least by the 1st or second day.
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor... Here you could have streptococci like bacterial infection, or it can be viral influenza respiratory infection....CBC can be done for it... If shows neutrophils then bacterial and if show lymphocytes then viral cause can be there.... Take cefuroxime protein like antibiotic for it . More water taken.... Hot water useful.... Avoid excess spicy and fried food excess for few days.... Fruit juice more.... If blocked nose present you can take .05% oxymetazoline nasal Spray can be taken... Antihistaminic Chat Doctor. ... If still condition increasing then throat swab can be taken and send for culture... Consult physician discuss these with him... Take care....
