Recurring strep throat?

Question

Asked for Female, 15 Years

I've just recently finished my penicillin antibiotic for strep throat (10 days, 2 a day). About 3 days after my throat begins to get sore again. Now, it is incredibly sore and it hurts very bad to swallow. It feels like the same pain when I had strep previously. I also have pus spots forming on my tonsils. Now I also have a track meet tomorrow. should I go to the track meet or stay home from school and go to the doctor? Thanks
