Doc suspects I have strep, scared to take the antibiotic. Went to urgent care yesterday with a very painful sore throat. The test came up negative,  but with all of my symptoms, she believes it’s still strep/tonsillitis. No fever, but white pockets on my tonsils, etc. She prescribed amoxicillin, but since being diagnosed with UC last October, this is the first time I’ve had to take antibiotics and I’m scared. 

I’m actually not flaring finally for about a month now and my husband and I are about to take the trip we’ve been planning for months on Tuesday. What’s everyone’s experience with this antibiotic?

Currently taking Lialda 1.2g 2x a day, as well as Culturelle probiotics and occasionally CBD oil.
