A member asked:
I have pus postules in my throat my dr prescribed amoxicillian but did not give me a throat culture i am wary of taking unneccessary antibiotics i don?

Pus equals infection: The presence of "pus postules" in itself is a sign of infection. If you are not allergic to penicillin, Amoxicillin is as good a choice as any since the most likely organisms causing the infection are likely to be sensitive to this antibiotic.
