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.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's diabetic and has been dealing with this cold and fever for a while now. Her body temperature is pretty high, and she's feeling very weak, which is so unlike her since she used to be really active. There's no coughing involved, but I'm not sure which medicine would be best for her in this situation. Any advice?

Fever in a diabetic will subside only if blood sugar is under control. Paracetamol and cetrizine for fever and a course of antibiotic since we cant take a risk in a diabetic elderly.. will worsen quickly.. better consult and start treatment.
