I Had Strep Throat A Few Weeks Ago That Went
I had strep throat a few weeks ago that went untreated for about four days. I then did 10 days of penicillin and it cleared up.
Three weeks later, I began with symptoms again and went right away to the doctor; strep test came back positive and they started me on amoxicilin. That was yesterday morning; since last night, I've been having mild flank pain. Not sharp, just consistent and mild. It's annoying enough that I feel the need to lie here and massage it a bit.
Could this be related to the strep? And if so, should the antibiotics I'm currently taking cover it?
I've been urinating normally the past two days and have had few other symptoms that I chalked up to just having a fever (some mild dizziness and fairly bad fatigue).
Thanks in advance.
