the terrible thing is that you may or may not need any antibiotics. most viral infections are viruses and do not require antibiotics. a few are strep but making a "self-diagnosis" based solely on symptoms is not much better than a coin toss. some viral sore throats are mono (mononucleosis). i can't blindly diagnose you over the internet and you may or may not have the skills to accurately diagnose yourself so my recommendation is for you to be tested for strep at student health. a simple rapid test if you do have it then the amoxicillin may be appropriate (assuming you have the proper dose. you didn't share that information) for your weight and severity of infection.
i was given amoxicillin for wisdom teeth but never used it. i'm having strep throat symptoms. can i take the amoxicilin? . i'm a college student who doesn't have the time or the money to go to a doctor to get another bottle of antibiotics especially when i have a nearly full bottle just sitting in my room. (they're also not expired) i just want to know if anything terrible is going to to result from me taking them.
