no pain, no gain? hi folks, many of you remember my ranting and screaming about my strep and tonsilitis and i thank you for all your answers, they really helped alot, well i have finished taking my medication after 3 weeks of taking it..i do not have any more pain swallowing or strep which was my main concern at the time..now my question is, when does the redness and healing of the blisters go away?  it is not causing me any problems, but it is taking so long to heal..is this the normal process? does it take a long time to heal..i had a really bad case of strep and tonsilitis..it seems a little less red, but still red back there on both sides of my throat.. should i just wait it out and let it heal? or should i go back on med? also, what is the likelihood of this strep/tonsilitis returning anytime soon? thanks for your answers....

Summarized question: How long does it take for strep throat and tonsillitis to completely heal after a 3-week medication course?
