I went to my doctor yesterday because of severe ear pains and sore throats for a good 6 days, and he told me I had both Strep Throat and Tonsillitis along with the whole fever sickness. But the thing is, he asked if I’ve been coughing and up until today I haven’t. Now I’ve been coughing left and right.

I did a bit of researching on the internet, and according to a website if I’m coughing with strep throat it may be viral rather than bacterial.

Does this mean that the medication my doctor gave me won’t work? Should I call up telling him about this new symptom or not?
