Well I finally went to the dr yesterday and she said that I had a really bad sinus infection and she couldn't believe that I wasn't in more pain. She said it was one of the worst infections she'd seen. I guess my throat was really red and swollen, my glands are swollen and it hurt when she tapped on my sinuses. She gave me a 3 day z-pak and flonase...

Well today (on day 2 of meds) and I'm still feeling really poorly. My throat is still really sore, I'm wondering if she should have taken a strep culture as well? Or will the zpak take care of it?

The 3-day Z-pack is much stronger than the 5-day pack. I'd recommend that you finish the pack and then call your doctor if your condition isn't improving. It's a bad infection, and it won't clear overnight. Zithromax also continues to work long after you've finished the pills.
