THANK YOU to everyone who helped me try to figure out my rash!

THANK YOU to everyone who helped me try to figure out my rash!

I had a doctor appt today (thankfully my dr works till 2 on Saturdays) and I have Strep throat! I knew in children strep could cause a rash but didn't think of adults! Today my throat is so sore I can barely swallow with a headache and cough so it all makes sense 👍

What to do with strep throat?

What would you guys do in this situation? I’m so undecided. I was diagnosed with strep throat like the week before thanksgiving, took all the antibiotics, and everything was fine. Then a week and a half ago my throat started hurting the same way yet again, so I finally went to the doctor last wednesday and once again tested positive for strep, and got more antibiotics. I was fine and it looked almost cleared up for a couple days, but then yesterday my throat started hurting agaaaiiiinnn and it looks almost worse today than it did last week. I’m on the antibiotics until I think Saturday morning, but it doesnt look like the cephalexin (I’m allergic to amoxicillin) is even touching it this time. I have an appointment with my OB next tuesday, but I’m starting to wonder if I should try to see a doctor sooner (like tomorrow) to see if there’s anything else they can give me. Any input of this makes sense? Basically I’m just wondering if I should give the antibiotics another day or two, or just go see the doctor again.
