What do you recommend for antibiotics for recurring bacterial throat infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need culture: Before any specific treatment is given, you must have a throat culture to identify the specific bacterial organism. You must not assume you need an antibiotic. You may have recurrent viral infections. The conscientious physician will first make a specific diagnosis of why you are developing these infections and then select the appropriate therapy.
