asked

I completed a course of antibiotics (Keflex) for a strep infection, but there is still redness and pus on my tonsils. Should I get retested for strep? Do I need a longer course of antibiotics? I started the antibiotics on September 1st and completed 10 days of treatment. The symptoms improved initially but have reappeared. The redness is slightly darker than the mouth tissue, with no pain or itchiness. I had strep earlier this summer and took amoxicillin. No fever, no neck lumps, and no difficulty swallowing.
