Depends: Your definition of severe is difficult to evaluate which will influence oral or IV routes. Furthermore a penicillin allergy may effect the choice as well as community patterns and hospital based organisms. A culture is the gold standard for determining treatment but most cliicians would begin with Cephalexin or Dicloxacillin or amoxicilin/clavulonate and then Clindamycin in pcn allergic patients.
