My glands have been swollen for a while, but they don't hurt. I had been to a doctor and he gave me some medicine to cure a strep. It worked for a few days, but now it's back. What should I do?

I don't remember the medication in question, but it is to cure strep throat.

Hello, unfortunately, as a pharmacist, I can't help you much. The doctor probably prescribed an antibiotic. If it didn't work, it would be important to consult again to have the situation evaluated: resistance to the antibiotic? another infection? A throat culture might be necessary to clarify the diagnosis: streptococcus still present or other bacteria? viral infection? I therefore recommend that you follow up with your doctor. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions, have a nice day, Isabelle Pelletier, pharmacist
