A member asked:
Son/30, had sore throat, took augmentin 500 for 8 days, still has sore throat, can he be at risk for rheumatic heart since he's had for over 2 wks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely viral: Son is not at risk for rheumatic heart disease after a 8 day course of augmentin. It is likely that cause of the sore throat is viral in origin instead of being due to strep.
