[|Human|] I was seen in the Emergency Room on Tuesday and he prescribed me Amoxicillin 500mg twice a day for 12 days. im also taking Afrin, Nasal Decongestant, and Mucinex. And the only thing i can tell is its getting worse. plus now i feel like im running a fever, im sore/achey, and also i have a annoying pain in my lower abdomen. Should i go back to the ER?
[|AI|]  HI! Thanks for your query at Chat Doctor!In my opinion I feel there is nothing to worry. You have contracted viral infection of respiratory tract (It can be Rhinovirus, Influenza, Para influenza, RSV, adenovirus, etc.)The antibiotics will not bring relief but only prevent secondary infections of the tract. So I suggest you continue with treatment. Sometimes antibiotics cause upset of GI tract, so you can take a proton pump inhibitor and anti-spasmodic. Do saline gargles 6-8 times and steam inhalation. You can get few investigations done like blood culture for bacterial infection, gram stain of throat with culture & sensitivity to rule out Group B Streptococcus infection. I hope this will solve your problem. Take care!
