A member asked:
What other antibiotics besides omincef and amoxicillin are used to treat children with strep throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Strep throat : To make a complete list of strep treatment drugs would take all the space we have to write a note to you. If you are looking for an alternative to the two you mentioned I would suggest Zithromax. It belongs to another class of drugs and is not related, which may help if allergy is a concern. It is equally effective as well.
