A member asked:
Is augmentin good antibiotic for strep ? i had a sore throat for 5 days. finally went in today and was positive for strep. am i at risk for rheumatic fever due to waiting so long ?

Yes, it should work. Rheumatic heart fever is RARE at your age and rheumatic heart fever occurs in less than 5% of children between 5-15 as a complication of untreated strep A infection.
