Streptococcal throat infection, also known as strep throat, is a common illness that is caused by bacteria called Streptococcus pyogenes. It is most commonly seen in children between the ages of 5 and 15, but it can affect people of any age. Strep throat is characterized by symptoms such as sore throat, fever, and swollen lymph nodes, and it can be treated with antibiotics. In this blog post, we will discuss the medication management of strep throat in children, including the types of antibiotics that are used, how they are administered, and what you can expect during treatment.
