About 5-7 days ago, I started having slight fevers and throat started getting sore. About 4 days ago, it started getting very bad. I went to the doctor and he said I have a strep and fever so he prescribed me z-pack (Azithromicyn) 500 MG. I took that for 3 days (1 pill each day) and now my throat feels even worse. It feels like my lymph nodes are swollen and I went to the doctor to get a blood test and he prescribed me Cefuroxime 500 MG that I should start taking tomorrow.
I've had strep throats before and it never felt so bad before. When I talk, it sounds like I am a frog because it feels like something is pulling on my tonsils and its not comfortable. When I swallow, it feels like there are knives in my throat and I can't even articulate the pain I'm feeling. The doctor said it may be mononucleosis which is why I took a blood test to find out. I really hope it isn't because I have to go on vacation in a week and I need to get better soon. I'm not sure why the other antibiotics aren't working and I am gargling salt water everyday, eating lemons, ice cream, drinking tea, hot soup etc and it still feels the same. My fever comes and goes but I take tylenol so it relieves it sometimes. Can anyone please tell me what they think this is. I am a 20 year old male.
Thank you and god bless everyone.
