is this a good sign? hi, i never had fever or any crazy symptoms associated with my tonsilitis and strep except the horrible pain when swallowing and the redness in the back of my throat on both sides and tiny blisters. i am on penicillin VK for the 2nd week now. maybe it was the strep that led to the tonsilitis or the other way around, i dont know..why does the pain when swallowing sometimes gets better and than gets worse? is this part of the problem with this?  can the pencillin make it worse? before i took my power nap, my pain when swallowing was hardly there, then when i woke up it started getting bad again..then it goes away..is this normal with the penicillin? is it working? or is it just healing it.? sorry for all the questions   thanks

Summarized question: Is it normal to have swallowing pain after taking penicillin?
