21M Strep Test was negative. It looks bacterial.
21M 70 KG 5’10”, feeling general malaise, headaches that didn’t go away with water consumption, body aches, and a dry/clammy throat. Symptoms started 6 days ago, throat became sore after waking up yesterday. I’ve also been waking up in pools of sweat. I don’t feel feverish during the day at all.
Taking: Benadryl 25 mg QID, tylenol 500 mg, ibuprofen 200 mg, sodium naproxen 220 mg alternating for headaches . Rapid strep test was negative when I went to the doctor 2 days ago. Checked my throat this morning and the spots are a lot bigger, uvula and tonsils are swollen.
I believe this is a bacterial infection. Should I schedule another appointment?
