I am having sore throat since last two weeks and now high fever (102-103`f) since last two days. I consulted the gp here how has given me 20 days course of phenoxymethylpenicillins 250mg (4 tablets everyday). Is it necessary to take penicillins for so long. Also can I have paracetamol for high fever along with penicillins.
