Fever, sorethroat, aches all over. STREP negative.

Resolved Question:

My 20 year old daughter started having a bad sore throat, aches all over and a fever of 101, last night. She saw a nurse practitioner this am. The quick Streph test was negative. My daughter does not have her spleen, so she was put on amoxicillin and told it probably is Streph. She was not tested for the flu, but she has had the shot. She took the first dose of amoxicillin at noon and has been taking Tylenol all day. It is now 10:24 p.m. and her fever is still 100 or above. Should we be concerned?

Hello,‹br/›Thank you for your query to DoctorSpring.com‹br/›Yes, you should be patient and complete the antibiotic course as recommended by your physician entirely. If you leave the antibiotic course midway, the remaining microorganisms causative of your condition become even more powerful and difficult to treat.‹br/›A deviated septum is a common condition and is not one for cause for concern unless associated with specific symptoms hence I would advise you to rest assured in that aspect.‹br/›With regards to your sinus headache, should be having sinusitis can take time to clear away completely. The best way to treat a sinusitis headache would be to do steam inhalation multiple times a day, for 5-10 minutes each time because this encourage clearence of the blocked secretions within your sinuses. This should prvide relief to your headache too.‹br/›Hope this helps, feel free to discuss further‹br/› ‹br/›
