A member asked:
For throat infections, how many days should i take 250 mg of amoxil (amoxicillin)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depdns: For most throat infections, which are usually caused by viruses, you shouldn't take antibiotics at all. But if you've been diagnosed with strep throat, you should take Amoxil (amoxicillin) for the amount of time it was prescribed.
