The drug "Amoxiclav" with angina will help the child

When a child is sick with angina, it is always a great concern and a lot of questions from parents. But the treatment will be effective, and the disease will be more rapid if, after the diagnosis is established, it is clear to find out by what means to conduct therapy.

In what cases is an antibiotic required?

Angina, although considered quite a complex disease, still has various forms. So, if the throat just turned red, the pain is not too strong, but there is general weakness, then we can talk about the catarrhal form, which, with the right approach, will take place in just 6-7 days. When a child experiences a sharp temperature increase, as well as general intoxication, severe sore throat, purulent plaque, then speech is most likely about lacunar or follicular angina. In this case, you have to use the drug "Amoxiclav" with angina or other antibiotics.

Than to be treated?

If the body temperature is more than 38 ° C and higher for three consecutive days, this indicates that the body can not cope with the disease. The doctor prescribes certain antibiotics for children with angina. Most often used ampicillin and amoxicillin (both belong to the penicillin series). If, within the framework of antibacterial therapy, such drugs cause allergies or are ineffective, instead of prescribing "Amoxiclav" in angina, doctors recommend the use of macrolides, in particular sumamed, erythromycin. Also suitable are tetracyclines, cephalosporins (fortum, cefurabol), fluoroquinolones. In addition to using a common antibiotic, local antimicrobial agents are shown for children with angina .

Features of the "Amoxiclav"

As noted above, the complex course of the disease requires treatment with an antibiotic. One of the best drugs today is "Amoxiclav". With angina, experience has shown that it is very effective. In fact, this drug is amoxicillin, which is also supplemented with clavuanic acid. In comparison with other antibiotics "Amoxiclav" has many advantages, in particular:

- is easily tolerated by the patient;

- can be used by people of different ages, even by children;

- non-toxic;

- detoxifies various types of bacteria, including Streptococcus viridans, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Salmonella spp, Bordetella pertussis and others;

- can be combined with food and water, which does not reduce the activity of the drug.

Use of "Amoxiclav"

The drug is produced in various forms, which is very convenient for taking the medicine by the child. So, you can buy "Amoxiclav" with angina in tablets taken orally, in powder from which a suspension for drinking is prepared, or in the form of sand for the preparation of a solution administered intravenously. It should be remembered that this drug can not be taken once. The treatment is mandatory for 5-10 days.
The use of the drug "Amoxiclav" with ascorbic acid contributes to its better absorption, but glucosamines, aminoglycosides and laxatives inhibit this process. Together with the antibiotic should take antihistamines.
