How many 500mg capsules of Amoxicillin at minimum can cure strep throat?
It is absolutely imperative to take a full antibiotic course. The best course of action in general is to go to an urgent care center. They are fairly cheap, you will see the doctor in less than 30 minutes without an appointment, and you will get a full course of antibiotic treatment for a few dollars. The visit itself costs about 20-50 dollars depending on your insurance. But since you already have the doctor’s appointment scheduled, call ahead and ask your doctor what you should do. He will most likely have you hold off on the antibiotics until the appointment because he will want to do a strep test to ensure that you need antibiotics.
