Strep throat and chest pain

Question

Asked for Female, 18 Years

I’ve been diagnosed with strep throat today, but I’ve been experiencing the pain for about a week and a half now. My right tonsil is swollen and I’ve been getting ear pain. Last Thursday I was diagnosed with a sinus infection but they didn’t take a throat sample for strep. I got prescribed amoxicillin today, I took one pill around 2 and the other around 10 I took a nap after taking my first pill and woke up at 6. This is when I noticed the chest pain, it’s in my upper right lung when I breathe
