I'm really worried and need some advice. I've been dealing with strep throat for about a week and a half, and my right tonsil is super swollen. I've also been getting pain in my ear. Last Thursday, they said I had a sinus infection, but they didn't check my throat for strep back then. I just started taking amoxicillin today, two doses so far, but after the first one, I took a nap and woke up with this chest pain on the upper right side when I breathe. Is this normal or something I should be concerned about?

it might be due to gastritis which is a side effect of Amoxicillin.

So, for the past few days, I've been dealing with this cold and fever, and my body keeps shivering. I've already taken some tablets like Cheston Cold and Combiflam, but I don't see any improvement. I'm kinda worried about it. Can you tell me what I should do next?

You can take the same medicine and stay hydrated.
