What Causes Pharyngitis While Suffering From Streptococcus?
Hi Dr. Rynne,I am getting pharyngitis every 20 days from last 8 months. Last months after throat culture, they detected streptococcus and prescribed sephorex. However, it/pharyngitis has come back again. What could be the reason for getting it so often? What medicine should i take to break the cycle?
As per my clinical experience, there can be various reasons for the recurrent pharyngitis from streptococcus as: - Low immunity - Drug resistant bacteria - Inadequate therapy in previous episode - Another bacterial infection superimposed - Systemic problems as diabetes or others
However, individual case needs a detailed evaluation for particular cause in regard to that.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
