RE: When you need antibiotic for sore throat ? (Centor criteria ) simple evidence based method.
Met too, easy way to decide if you will hit with Abx or not, agree with last point, i had same experience before
It is also important to relies that viral infection can exhaust immune system so Bacteria can kick in easily, in that case Staphylococcus aureusis the most superimpose infection post viral in respiratory tract, am not a fan of Antibiotics but if my symptom not improved in 2 days i add Abx.
Thank you for showing up @tfeldman
Good point in the outpatient setting sometimes docs will give an antibiotic script and tell the parent not to fill the prescription unless the child is sick for 2 more days (really good for ear infections)
