• In the case of Strep A positivity, the use of phenoxymethyl penicillin or penicillin V is recommended (1 200 000 I.U./12 h orally), as GABHS has been and remains sensitive to this antibiotic globally.
• In the event of intolerance to the treatment of choice, amoxicillin 500 mg/12 h can be given.
• A first-generation cephalosporin can also be administered, such as cefadroxil 500 mg/12 h.
• Antibiotic treatment renders the culture negative in the first 24 h in 97% of cases, reducing the risk of contagion to other people.
• This difference is greater in adolescents and young adults, as antimicrobial treatment can reduce symptoms in these groups in 2 days.
