I've been on Pen V since last Saturday, the course was due to end today but there's still gunk in my throat (it hasn't really changed since last week) so GP has given me another five day course.
I've not felt unwell at any point - only symptoms have been a pain in my throat last Thursday/Friday and the lovely gunky stuff, which to be honest could've been there for ages because I didn't check it until Saturday. No temp or anything and only the slightest occasional scratchiness now.
Is it normal for it to persist after a week of ABs, and if so, how long is it likely to go on for? And have I passed the point where it's likely to cause further problems/spread? Dreading the idea of being ill or still on gut busting ABs for Christmas, we've had four stinkers in a row and really want this Christmas to be lovely and worry free.
Never had this before (afaik) so gunky throat is new territory!
