A member asked:
How long does it take to get over strep throat using azithromycin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Poor choice: Strep throat is best treated by one shot of benzathine penicillin or 5-day course of cefdinir. For individuals with penicillin allergy, Azithromycin is recommended but at higher doses to be effective.
