@med08 Well, if you are sick with a cold or other virus, no antibiotic will cure it. Antibiotics work only on bacteria. If you have diagnosed strep throat, the usual treatment is penicillin, amoxycillin, or augmentin unless you are already on the Big-3, then nothing more is usually prescribed.

Thank you.

Can’t take those with penicillin allery. Call your Dr. I have been given Doxycycline, Biaxin, Omnicef
