The Role of Amoxicillin in Sore Throat

The antibiotics themselves I don't think have changed so it's basically phenoxy methapenicillin orally is the ideal and amoxicillin as an alternative. The main recommendation still is to give it for 10 days how many people actually continue it out for 10 days once they're feeling better but really that 10 days is for microbial clearance and for symptomatic improvement five days is probably sufficient.
