strep throat
"My worst nightmare started with uncontrollable sneezing in the evening which later developed into severe throat pain and musculoskeletal pain with temperatures shooting up to 103.  The physician (whom I consulted in the absence of my family physician) prescribed cefixime and Azithromycin (200 500) combination twice a day, but the progress was very slow with the temp remaining high at 103.  Fortunately, my physician returned and I consulted again and was prescribed Augmentin 625 twice a day for 3 days.  Within a day, I found excellent improvement and the second day the strep pharyngitis completely subsided."
