Suggest Treatment For Strep B Throat Infection

Strep throat not responding to antibiotics after nearly two months? I was diagnosed with strep B infection throat, right after Christmas 2015. I was put on antibiotics, it went away for about two weeks and then came back with a vengeance. In January 2016 I was put on antibiotics again, and it is now the middle of February and it is back yet again. My tonsils(especially the left) are extremely swollen and painful, I am getting tonsil stones, and I see red spots in the back of my throat. I feel if I go back my Dr. will just put me on antibiotics and it will be the same thing all over again. What can I do to get rid of this?

Thanks for asking me this question.

You inform us that you have streptococcus throat infection .it occur again so it indicate that antibiotic is not right one.

Before starting any antibiotics you have to do culture and sensitivity test. it help us to decide which antibiotic we have to take.

Generally erythromycin or azithtomycin ,cephalosporin can Use in this care.

Take more water.Avoid spicy and oily food.
Avoid alcohol and smoking.

Full antibiotic course you have to complete it. Take care.

Thanks.
