Hi all,
My son is going on day number 6 with strep throat.
He has now has laryngitis and still not sleeping well.
He is on amoxicillan(however you spell it). The doctor has me rotating motrin and tylenol every three hours for his sore throat pain. Which he still has. I have already had him to the doctors twice in the past six days. Shouldn't he be getting better by now? Should I take him back tomorrow or does this take awhile to get over?
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks

When ever I have strep throat (about every 2 months for the last 3 years) it takes a while fir it to feel better. If the fever is gone then the medication is working. The reason his throat still hurts is because of the damage done before the meds took effect. Try giving food that is soft that will not scratch his throat(you would be surprised how scratchy some foods are so be extra careful) also make sure everything is luke warm anything else will irritate the lining. If these dont work or if his fever does not go away go back to the doctor but in my experience the pain does not stop until the medication is almost done so hang in there and sometimes the doseage has to be higher in my case I am on the max doseage allowed and thank god I have not had an infection in 4 months now.
