Strep in Siem Reap, Cambodia
I have strep throat in Siem Reap, Cambodia. I've had a pretty bad fever when not taking Ibuprofen, and I have a painful swollen throat with white bacterial mats.
I also have had other problems, which I think stemmed from stupid decisions (not eating/drinking enough) that I have changed.
How do I get penicillin? Can I just go to a pharmacy or do I have to find a special doctor? Will they understand "penicillin" or do I need someone to write me a message in Khmer?
Best Answer
You should wait a couple days and if it doesn't heal by itself take a course of oral antibiotics penicillin or amoxicillin, any pharmacy can sell you these for 1-2 dollars. Be sure to complete the entire recommended course (google) even if you feel better, as multiple antibiotic resistant bacteria are a huge problem in Cambodia. I had a similar issue and did not complete the full course, and ending up bringing back multiple resistant bacteria to Europe, so this is really serious.

You should go to U-care pharmacy, they will have a doctor to consult your disease before you can purchase the medicine. You can find the U-care pharmacy of the East corner of Pub Street or another place along of Sivutha Street.
