Thnaks Katya:) I've actually tried to live with it for four days now, but it keeps getting worse and worse. I have 2 kids, a job and full time school so i really need to get better. I'v taken two doses of the erythromycin so far, and argggg..it makes me nauseated!!! I just started getting over this in my pregnancy, and I don't know if I can make it for the next ten days!!! Can any doctors let me know what other antibiotics may be safe but don't have nausea as a symptom, or are commonly allergic reaction inducing? I'm 13 weeks pregnant with strep throat. Thanks again, Darcie
