A member asked:
Good morning. if i have white spots on my throath and it itches, is it true that you stop being contagious after the 24 of taking the antibiotic? im currently taking amoxicillin thank you?

If you have strep, 24 hrs of abx are enough to end random spread in most settings. Mabey not if you are kissing intimately, but in most settings. Most spots in the throat in adults are simple viruses or allergies that antibiotics don't cure or prevent spread to others(virus).
