Management of a sore throat. Antibiotics are no longer appropriate

J M Wolter. Aust Fam Physician. 1998 Apr.

Abstract

Evidence is mounting that antibiotics have little impact on the duration of sore throat symptoms, regardless of aetiology. Complications of sore throat are now so rare that an adverse drug reaction from antibiotic therapy is more likely.
