it's not cause of pain but its lke my glands are swollen or i have a lot mucus in my throat i've been on antibiotics since sunday
Answer:
My son had strep throat - a lot! five or six times in one year! The only cure was penicillin. One shot and it started to clear up in 24 hours. If you still have swelling, mucus and pain, you did not get penicillin and you will definitely have problems later in life.If you indeed, did have a penicillin shot, then maybe it was misdiagnosed because a throat culture was not taken. If you have glands swelling in your neck, throat and under/behind your ears you may have the mumps! Penicillin will do nothing for them.Go see your doctor again! Something is not right.
Try drinking bottled water.
Take ibuprofen, which will help with the pain and swelling. Gargle with warm salt water about every 4 hours. This will help with the pus/drainage on your tonsils. Keeping the air moist, such as using a cool-water humidifier where you sleep will help.
You may have edema of the throat. This may be addressed by gargling with warm (not hot) salt water. Reason? Chemically, water follows salt. The salt will "draw out" the water and decrease your edema and mucus. As an added bonus, if there are microbes in your throat, they will die without this water. Caution: this won't cure you! Keep taking your antibiotics.
Take Advil for the swelling and try very cold stuff, like popsicles! I get it all the time when I get strep. BTW--is it possible you're allergic to the antibiotic?? An allergic reaction can also cause swelling of the throat and can be deadly!
911! 911! my friend had that s a kid-----------didnt go to doc---------it laid in body for years---------------------you lost her kidneys behind it.
