I would go to the walk in clinic. Sometimes viruses can hang around for this long, and antibiotics won't help if it is a virus. But the tooth sounds like it needs attention. I'd be very insistent with the doctors office with the strep test. I'd either insist that I will stay on the phone till I get the results and if that does't work, I'd just go down there and wait till they give them to me. Ask to speak to the nurse - tell her you can't go to the dentist for tooth treatment till you have the strep test and that you need it NOW
