About this document
Strep Pharyngitis Diagnosis and Treatment by katelynhiltz98 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Strep pharyngitis is a common condition in school-age children, and diagnosis relies on assessment findings and the Centor Criteria, which guide whether testing is necessary. Treatment involves a 10-day course of antibiotics, primarily penicillin or amoxicillin, with alternatives for those allergic to penicillin. Untreated strep pharyngitis can lead to complications like peritonsillar abscess, requiring emergency intervention.
