The antibiotic Duracef (cefadroxil) usually starts working within 48-72 hours of starting treatment, however, it may take longer for full improvement, especially with throat infections caused by beta-hemolytic streptococcus.
Treatment should be continued for at least 10 days, even if symptoms disappear earlier, to completely eliminate the infection and prevent complications. If you do not see any improvement after 3 days of using the medication and fever and sore throat persist, it is worth consulting a doctor, as you may need to change your treatment or perform additional diagnostics.
If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:
