Hey so as the title suggests, Tuesday night i started getting pretty bad chills and tremors (fever was probably coming on) then Wednesday my fever got up to 102.7, I Bought Motrin and Tylenol and started the rotation and its done a good job of keeping my temp under 100 thankfully. i finally went to the doctor Thursday morning thinking i have the flu (had decent body aches, headaches, little bit of sore throat, etc) Flu test actually came back negative however i didnt even think to look at my mouth because my throat wasnt all that sore and the Dr. did. He called out strep even without a test due to the redness and white spots and also a minor ear infection. I started Amoxicilin that day (3/7/19) but i also have developed this cough. A lot of things ive read have said coughing shouldnt happen with strep but my throat is so irritated that i have no choice to cough. What do you guys think? thank you!
