How do you treat strep throat?
STREP THROAT is caused by a streptococcal (strep for short) bacterium and is cured by a prescription medication (antibiotic), once a throat culture is done by a doctor and the culture shows "positive" for the bacteria. Even though many people get a prescription for an antibiotic without a positive culture, they really should not be given antibiotics without doing a culture (swab) of the throat. Antibiotics are over-prescibed in this country everyday. Everytime someone is seen for a cough, cold symptom, chest congestion, earache etc...doctors seem to throw antibiotics at their patients. This is not good, because over-use of antibiotics eventually leads to antibiotic resistant strains of infection, where even the strongest antibiotic stops being effective. Antibiotics DO NOTwork on a VIRUS infection; they only work on BACTERIAL infections.
