These studies suggest that strep throat is commonly treated with antibiotics such as penicillin or amoxicillin, and symptoms can also be relieved with flurbiprofen lozenges.
Strep throat, a common bacterial infection, is primarily treated with antibiotics to eradicate the causative organism, Group A streptococcus (Strep A). The following synthesis of research presents the current understanding of treatment strategies for strep throat.
In conclusion, the treatment of strep throat involves a combination of accurate diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic therapy. Penicillin and amoxicillin are the preferred antibiotics, with alternatives available for those with allergies. Symptomatic treatments are also important for patient comfort. There is a noted trend towards the use of broader-spectrum antibiotics, which is not recommended and could contribute to antibiotic resistance.
