I apologize if this has been posted a lot, but I woke up this morning with the symptoms above and have since had 2 advils, a strepsils lozenge and hot water with lemon and honey. Now all that's left is a small headache (only if I move quickly and suddenly, or look into a bright light such as my computer screen) and a sore throat that feels worse. It hurts to swallow and breathe. I read that it wasn't a good idea to take as much anti-biotic as I have, so should I take it easy on the medicine and just get a lot of rest?
