first you are taking too much advil. the dosage for an 800mg should be every six hours not four. if you need more pain management you should consult your medical provider for something stronger. if you have lab diagnosed strep (and not mono which can clinically mimic the same symptoms) a person can have mouth pain (strep can extend to the palate area) and because of nerve pathways one can experience referred ear pain as well. i would definitely suggest that you consult the medical provider who is treating you. not just for better pain management but to discuss these new symptoms with someone who has recently examined you.
i have strep throat i have severe pain in the top of my mouth and ears. is this normal? . i have been on antibiotics for almost 4 days and i have been taking 800mg of advil every 4 hours. the pain on the roof of my mouth is so sharp that it takes the breath away from me. it is very difficult to eat and talk. the advil is doing nothing for my ears and head pain. are these normal symptoms? if not when should i go back to the doctor?
