If you go to the doctor they will take a throught culture and tell you if you have strep or not and give you a really good antibiotic for it. It is Pennesylin, unless you are alergic to that they have a one similar to Pennesylin.

maybe you need a stronger antibotic...but they usually take around 5 days to start working so wait a little longer.
