This thing is kicking my arse .

Hurts to swallow water.

No real symptoms other than sharp pain upon each swallow

I slept like 30 minutes total last night. I am exhausted and I doubt I’ll sleep much tonight either

Been taking amoxicillin and a z pak as well. Trying to knock this thing out as I’ve gotta go to Arizona Sunday for a work meeting of course

Yep that sounds like strep. It's been a minute since I've had it but good lord it hurt like a bitch to swallow. Symptoms should subside after a couple days on antibiotics

Moving forward gargle warm salt water once a week whether you're sick or not. It helps clean the tonsils. When my daughters were young they used to get strep all the time. Getting on a salt water routine basically cured them.

Make sure you get a new toothbrush when symptoms subside or you might get it again.

That dry Arizona climate is probably the best thing for it.

Might have something to do with that anal fecal plague shite going around College Station I saw posted here yesterday.

You see an Aggie, you go the opposite direction.

Gargle warm salt water and listerine.

Not at the same time, but alternate every hour.
