Thread: white bumps on my throat?

    So it's still a little sore, and the spots are still there. But I feel a little better. I don't feel dizzy, etc. So do you think it's still worth taking the meds?

    Take the meds

    Strep is serious and can, well, kill you. It is not a big deal most of the time, but the one time you dismiss it, is the time it may just come and bite you in the butt! I don't want to scare you, but......... I know a couple who lost a child due to Strep. So, please take your meds. Lecture over.

    The Doctor didn't seem that concerned. I'm not sure why he wouldn't tell me all this!

    Kinda makes you wonder about the doc, doesn't it??? An attitude like he gave, certainly would NOT give me a warm and fuzzy feeling about his competency.

    Yes, definitely. Just to be sure you completely clear the infection.

    (Just a thought ... When I was a staff nurse, one of our attendings would write a diet order for yoghurt with each meal when he would start an antibiotic on a patient. You have "good" bacteria in your body, which the anti-infectives don't know not to wipe out, and the yoghurt helps to replace them.)

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    He isn't my family doctor. They sent the results to him though. I'll know on Monday but I think I'm going to get the meds tomorrow anyway
