Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to a throat infection.
The positive strep test confirm the diagnosis.
I suggest to take a cycle of antibiotics such as Augmentin 625 mg twice a day.
I also suggest to use anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
