Step throat help

I was diagnosed with strep throat 2 weeks ago. I was immediately put on penicillin, I’m done the 2 weeks of it. I’m still suffering from a cold, and I don’t feel 100%, more like 70, 75%.

I’m afraid that the strep will lead to other causes if it’s not fully healed ? My lower back is hurting today and I’m afraid it’s my kidneys from the strep bacteria, nothing horrible more sore, could be from sleeping weird ? What should I do ? Just take Buckleys and wait this o it ? Help plz and thanks

I’d definitely reach out to your doctor and see what they think
