How did an intern prescribe something to you? That should not be possible. Also, codeine isn't a treatment for strep. They should have given you antibiotics after diagnosing a throat swab.
- rdtsc 7y agoI was in pain and I guess after checking that my throat wasn't going to close completely he gave me something for the "pain". > How did an intern prescribe something to you? He seemed young enough to be intern. I didn't specifically check his age or credentials.
- LinuxBender 7y agoPerhaps a young doctor. :-) They should have advised against you leaving until they did a throat culture. It's rare, but strep can develop into a life threatening condition.
