I keep getting strep
I am 18, female, while, 5'1, 106 lbs, and I have PANDAS. For the past 4 months I've caught strep 2 times. First time in Novemeber I ran a really high fever and chest pains. This past time I had a low grade fever for 7 days. (I was swabbed both times for strep) I keep coughing up tonsil stones that are the size of peas. I'm also having chest pressure throughout the day. I am still on anti-biotics but I'm still feeling sick. I haven't reinfected myself because I clorox wiped the house and I cleaned out my room, changed tooth brush/sheets the usual. Now, even when I don't have strep I suffer from extreme fatigue, low grade fevers, and chills. I do have an apt booked at the ENT but I really want an idea of what's going on with my body. I do have a history of strep, pharyngitis, and tonsillitis. Thanks so much for your time!
