I am 3 weeks out and this strep-throat is kicking my butt ....grrrrr...i am sooo upset i have never had strep like this before i am on 3 different antibiotics 2 for the H. Pylori they found when i had the surgery and 1 for the strep and none seem to be helping at all with the strep every single day my throat hurts even more i barely can even swallow my own saliva sorry if tmi and my throat just looks more swollen and red i have no taste at all!!! I think i will be visiting my doc again tomorrow i can't take it anymore i even had to stop 1 of the antibiotics for the H. Pylori because its a HUGE tablet and i can't swallow it (( sorry i just need 2 vent idk whats going on but since surgery i feel like my oral health has taken a toll my gums bleed sometimes i've gotten sores in my mouth on my tongue and now the strep could it be from surgery? I was perfectly fine before surgery :/ again sorry if tmi

It sounds like you are on a lot of antibiotics, is is possible that you may have Thrush? Hope you can get this cleared up soon, you sound like you are in a miserable state right now. Take care of yourself and keep on drinking as much as possible.

Thanks 2btrim i was thinking the same thing that i am on way 2 much antibiotics i mean to my thinking the 2000mg of amoxicillan that i am taking a day for the h.pylori should be helping with the strep because when i went to urgent care on monday thats what they were gonna give me for the strep until i told them wait i already take 2000mg of it a day they said oh well we'll put u on azythromycin for 5 days i am almost done with it and am not getting any better if anything worse. I think my body isn't reacting 2 the antibiotics anymore because its 2 much already =(

They can give you some medicine for the Thrush that will clear it up pretty quickly but in the mean time, eat plenty of yogurt or even get some Kefir and just hold it in your mouth as long as you can. It should help until you can see your Dr.

I am so sorry you are going through this! You may want to talk to your surgeon because I heard H. Pylori can make it difficult to swallow. It sounds like a hospital stay with IV antibiotics and fluids might be your best option until your strep is cleared up. Dehydration is bad news! Good luck.

Im praying for you... I know how awful you feel.

Love and light.

I'm praying you feel better soon. Hang in there and don't get dehydrated.

Thanks Teachamy i am praying it doesn't get to that point but that sounds like the best option right now.

So i went 2 see my PCP and sure enough she said i had one of the worst cases of thrush she has ever seen she said it is very bad so i have to stop all antibiotics for now i have to call my surgeon to let him know because he put me on the antibiotics for the h.pylori so my doc says hopefully the h.pylori cleared up with that 1 week i took of the meds if not i'll have 2 start the treatment again after i feel better but as long as i get better from this thrush right now its all that matters 2 me i was on 2000mg of amoxicillan, 1000mg of clarythromycin, and 250mg Zythromycin, so a total of 3250mg of antibiotics daily waaaaayyy 2 much my doc said that is what caused my strep 2 turn into thrush.

I had a feeling that was the case, but at least you know now and I m sure they are giving you some good medicine to clear it up. Hang in there, it's got to get better from here.
