Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
I personally use Augmentin for Strept infections.
I suppose your doctor must have started it. But pain abdomen is not a likely feature of Strept.
So, i advise you to get investigations done, if you see no sign of recovery even after taking antibiotics.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any query you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
