strep throat
"I was diagnosed with strep throat Monday morning.  The doctor prescribed 500mg of amoxicillin three times a day.  I filled the script that morning and started my course.  It is now Saturday morning and I am halfway through the course.  Last night was the worst night since this thing started.  I cannot sleep through the night because my throat is still very swollen and it is extremely painful when I swallow.  My lower back and ears are now achy."
