A member asked:

My 6yr old daughter got a bicillin shot yesterday for strep throat. does she need to take any followup medicine or is the shot the only treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Just one shot: Strep throat can be adequately treated with a single shot of bicillin. However, do contact her doctor if she continues to have or develop new symptoms.
