<human>: I have Mononucleosis and Group B Streptococcus,Heres what happened:- I was really tired for 4 or 5 days- After that, I got a sore throat and I was still kind of tired- Now, I have a horrible sore throat and I cringe every time I swallowIve had a sore throat for about 10 days, and all of my symptoms started about two weeks ago. About 3 days ago, I was diagnosed with Mononucleosis. Today, my doctor called and said I had Group B Streptococcus. What is this strep disease? My doctor said they didnt have any medication to treat this type of strep. The only stuff I can find online about group B strep is about when pregnant women have it. Im 19 and Im not pregnant. Can someone explain what all of this is? Thanks!
<bot>: Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor ... See you are having pharyngitis ...means inflammation or infection of pharyngeal wall... Group b streptococci is gram positive bacteria that can lead sore throat.... Because of pharyngitis you have difficulty in swallowing.... So you can take amoxyclav antibiotic for it... Salt water gargles done... If inflammation more short term steroid used. More water.... Avoid excess spicy and fried food.... Avoid smoking and alcohol.... If no benefit then throat swab taken and send for culture....Accordingly, then treated.... If prolonged lymphadenopathy with hepatosplenomegaly present then infectious mononucleosis suspected and PS with serological investigation needed for it... Hope your concern solved...... Take care... Chat Doctor.
