Strep throat antibiotics not working?

Question

Asked for Female, 18 Years

I’ve had strep throat and started antibiotics 2 days ago. I just looked at my tonsil in the mirror, and it is much more yellow than it was before I started my meds. Is this normal or is it possible that the antibiotics aren’t working? Thank you.
