Antibiotics should be prescribed only when necessary. All sore throats do not require antibiotics. Only a proper clinical assessment by a well trained ENT Specialist reveal this requirement. Selection of antibiotics also should be guided by strict protocols as arbitrary administration leads to antibiotic resistance and creation of dangerous superbugs!
