Call your doctor on the phone - he or she has someone on call - if you have a fever go to the emergency room. You could have a virus. It's unlikely you still have strep, but nothing is impossible, but you might want to call your on-call doctor for advice and see someone as soon as you can - tomorrow if your doctor's office has already closed Note:if the antibiotic was resistant to the strep you had the doctor would've already prescribed something else most likely...those above are right, sometimes you do need an extra dosage of meds if a high enough dose wasn't given the first time...I fixed errors in answer late as I was cut off my limit last evening - new to site...Sorry..

Sounds like you need to go back to the doctor.
Whenever I have had to take antibiotics, though, I always eat about two cups of yogurt a day. It not only helps your system fight the bacteria, but it also replaces the healthy bacteria in your intestines and system.
Another great help is garlic, garlic, garlic. This is a wonderful, natural antibiotic.
No matter what your doctor says, these two natural remedies are great and will not interfere with your meds.

It might be a couple of things. First and foremost, perhaps the antibiotic wasn't strong enough or last long enough to kill the strep and you need more. Secondly, you might have contracted something else in the meanwhile. Call your doctor ASAP...that would be the best thing to do.

over the summer I went through the same thing....
got strep and got antibiotics.... and 1 week after getting off the meds, got it agin, and was pt on a stronger antibiotic and it was still there so had to get my tonsils out.
Hopefully that's not the case for you, but I would bet money onn it, that you need them out. you will be very sore for 2 weeks.

May still be strep. did you have a culture? Try saline drops up your nose and eating lots of fruits and vegetables. Keep the air in your house less dry. Take a shower and breathe in the steam. Do you have a fever? 102 or higher. call the doctor again.

If you had strep throat and you are still having the same symptoms...you seriously need to call your doctor and tell him. Hope you get better!

it may be that the antibiotic has not taken hold yet, or it is possible that the strep virus is imune to that antibiotic.. you may need another prescription, Call your doctor they can probably prescribe something better over the phone.
Good luck, and feel better soon!

Yes, I have. I'm pretty sure everyone has had strep throat at least once.
