Peritonsillar abscess requires prompt intervention. When a patient has a known penicillin allergy, the treatment approach must be specifically adapted — the standard penicillin-based antibiotic pathway is not an option, and the choice of antimicrobial therapy changes accordingly.
This protocol is for patients presenting with peritonsillar abscess who have a documented history of penicillin allergy. The allergy status is the defining factor that shapes the antibiotic component of management.
Management involves abscess drainage combined with antibiotic therapy selected specifically for penicillin-allergic patients, together with supportive measures. The complete drug selection, sequencing, and full course of treatment are in the structured protocol.
