Yesterday, I gave in and went to the doctor when I awoke
with a 101.9
fever. The doc tested for flu (negative) and then
strep (positive), then proceeded to write prescrips for Tylenol with codeine, penicillin and Valtrex (also have a few cold sores on my lips). No other symptoms.
I've been using the meds for 24 hours now and simply put, they do not work. They don't lessen the sore throat at all, and it's pretty miserable.
