There is growing
information about throat infections in children. One of the things we can do in
the office that I think is very important is a strep culture. We’re able to
culture and see if bacteria is causing the problem. If, in fact, it is, we need
to make sure that we get an antibiotic on board that can treat it. There are
resistant strains and antibiotics always don’t work. But what we find is that
certain antibiotics have a much better place in the treatment of these throat
infections. We watch for them very carefully, and try to find out which is the
best.
We always
appreciate your comments.
