A member asked:
There is a small pus pocket in the back of my throat. would amoxicillin or another antibiotic clear this up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pus: A strep test should be done. Your pcp could do it. if it is not strep, it could be mono. There is a test for that too. amoxil is the treatment for strep, but you should be tested first.
