A member asked:

Ended cephalexin on 4th january. again having mild fever and throat pain. a specialist suggested i should take erythromicin. pls advise what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Following advice...: If one's regular doctor is advising a new antibiotic, that is usually the way to go. For strep throat infections, sometimes a doctor will retreat with the same antibiotic but at a higher dose, and sometimes the doctor will use a different antibiotic. If the doctor thinks there might be another treatable germ involved (different than that originally thought), he will usually change the antibiotic.
