Is cefdinir an ok antibiotic for strep throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It will work well: This is like taking an elephant gun to kill a squirrel, but i've done it before and will do it again.Strep is killed off by this med and if the patient in unable to take penicillin or amoxicillin, it is a better back up med than many others.
