Acute Pharyngitis

Treatment of Repeated / Recurrent Acute Pharyngitis Caused by Group A Beta-Haemolytic Streptococcus

Clinical Scenario

This protocol addresses patients who experience repeated or recurrent episodes of acute pharyngitis caused by group A beta-haemolytic streptococcus (GABHS) — a pattern that calls for a targeted antibiotic strategy rather than the approach used for a single acute episode.

Treatment Approach

Recurrent GABHS pharyngitis is managed with specific oral antibiotic agents selected for their effectiveness in this recurrent setting. Two antibiotic options are available; the complete regimen — including agent choice and course details — is in the full protocol.
