Hi, I recently found lumps on the back of my neck and my throat began to hurt very badly. I went to the doctor where I got tested for Strep Throat and recieved Penicillin about 8 days ago. It came out positive for strep throat. I still have some of the antibiotic left, and I am continuing to take it. However, my throat still hurts and the lumps are still there. I can feel my glands of my throat are still extremely swollen. What could be the cause of this? Is it still the strep throat even though I'm almost done taking the antibiotic, or is it something else? When should I go back to the doctor? Should I be worried that it's something more serious? Is there anything else I can do to help it?
