Staphylococcus Aureus
I have been having constant pain in my throat for the past 30 days. I went to see a doctor who prescribed me Cefchamp 325 for 10 days and then for another 7 days.
After which he asked me to do a Throat Swab which revealed Staph Aureus as the infection.
Then the doctor administered Azithromycin 250. But it has been 7 days and the pain has not reduced at all, although the infection seems to be reducing as the redness is slightly less than before.
