Suggest Treatment For Throat Pain And Swollen Lymph Nodes In The Neck

Hi! So, I recently went to the doctor after being sick with what I assumed with the flu. This lead to severe throat pain, swollen lymph nodes and an intense ear ache. Upon visiting the doctor, she presumed I had strep throat, gave me a script for Amoxicillin and 4 days worth of Prednisone to reduce the swelling and inflammation in my throat. Today is the 4th day, and my throat is still very swollen, the intense ear pain seems to come on every night, and I m having a hard time breathing still. In addition to this, I don t think I can see my uvula. What should I do?
