Can I still drive while on...

Yes, you should be fine to drive, provided you don't have other issues like being lightheaded, dizzy from getting dehydrated and under nourished.

Get re-hydrated, get some food in you. 24 hours of antibiotics gets you non-communicable (aka, the rest of the world is safe from your germs), and 48 hours should see you feeling better, not well, but better.

 

last time I had strep, I was down for 4 days, last time the wife had strep, she was down for 3 weeks as it turned into laryngitis

 

Have to agree that it seems to get worse as you get older. Even a cold gets me down hard now. Haven't been bad enough to not drive but it sure makes for some crappy days.

 

the worst part of antibiotics is that you are not supposed to drink alcohol!

Think Strep is bad as an adult....Try mono. I had it a few years ago. I was literaly bed ridden for 2 weeks. the fifteen steps from my bed to the bathroom and back and i felt like i ran the ny marathon. Throat was so sore i could barely handle chicken noodle soup and nothing solid. Lost 25 lbs that two weeks.

 

Important safety information:

Hormonal birth control (eg, birth control pills) may not work as well while you are using Amoxicillin. To prevent pregnancy, use an extra form of birth control (eg, condoms

Don't drive if you're dizzy, and don't get knocked up.
