Sore throat TREATMENT: Do antibiotics work on all sore throats? | Doctor Explains

- Do antibiotics work as a treatment of sore throat? I often get asked by patients if they can just have antibiotics for their painful sore throat. In this video, we discuss why this can be dangerous. I will also share with you a scoring system that I use to decide if antibiotics will work on a sore throat (tonsillitis).
The age-old - "It's viral, you'll be fine" has been said many times. But perhaps one thing that isn't that clear is why antibiotics can be harmful. Not only do they have side effects like causing headaches, diarrhoea and nausea, . But you'd be surprised to know that the majority of sore throats are not bacterial. Therefore antibiotics will not touch them as it'll literally be like throwing some skittles in (or any sweets you like).
More importantly, using antibiotics unnecessarily can also promote bacterial antibiotic resistance. Meaning that bacteria can get used to antibiotics and find a way to defeat them. Breeding and creating more bacteria with the same ability. Eventually, we will struggle to have antibiotics that will work on any of them which could put a lot of people's health at risk.
One of the ways we try and work out if antibiotics will be needed for a sore throat is to do a scoring system like the one below:
FeverPAIN criteria
• Fever (during previous 24 hours)
• Purulence (pus on tonsils)
• Attend rapidly (within 3 days after onset of symptoms)
• Severely Inflamed tonsils (tonsillitis)
• No cough or coryza (inflammation of mucus membranes in the nose)
Each of the FeverPAIN criteria scores 1 point (maximum score of 5)
Higher scores suggest more severe symptoms and likely bacterial (streptococcal) cause
A score of 0 or 1 is thought to be associated with a 13 to 18% likelihood of isolating streptococcus
A score of 2 or 3 is thought to be associated with a 34 to 40% likelihood of isolating strep
A score of 4 or 5 is thought to be associated with a 62 to 65% likelihood of isolating strep
With this scoring system, we can have a better estimate at your chance of having a bacterial sore throat and treat you more appropriately.

Doc I take antibiotics for my sore throat with pus on my tonsils but after the medications of antibitics the pus is starting to show again. I don't have cough but during the 2-3 days when my sore throat started i have a low fever grade
My health is fully restored and I’m free from chronic sore throats after many years. I got cured with the help of Dr Oyalo whom I met on TH-cam and his remedy work for me perfectly
i got a sore throat, and was just looking for some answer about it i have. you answered them rather nicely, thank you for that sir,

u cured now ? And which medicine u used ? because I tried every medicine and doctors near me but it can't cured...please help me
3 days now with purulent tonsillitis fever 39-40c cannot eat or drink and even having difficulty breathing. I feel dizzy when i get up and i vomet . Got 5 children and don't know what to do it doesn't seem to get better its getting worse. What can i do?
If I drink extremely chilled water or for that matter any liquid then Sore throat developed n my local Doc gives me antibiotic every time so sir please clarify I Sore throat due to chilled water need antibiotics treatment?
I am confused on the test you did doctor. It was not explained clearly and i am confused. My throat and tonsils hurt, fever, massive headache and runny nose and snizing.well is it viral or bacterial.
Great video. Quick question Why don't doctors swab the throat like they used to when I was younger? Our GP practice seems so keen to give antibiotics out with no verification that bacteria is the cause. Even more so since covid.
Only great doctors know the answer to this great question!
what about swollen lymphoidal folices and taste buds on tongue all the way into throat? would that be viral or bacterial?
Use a saltwater rinse to draw out viral and bacterial cells from your throat 3-4 minimum times a week
Hello doctor thanks have been in antibiotics 3month ago for pneumonia now I have terrible tonsils when swollen I feel cold ,fever, I was given antibiotics through injection it didn't work now am taking finemox CV 625 or co-Amoxiclav tablets my question is have I used a lot of antibiotics and is it health in my body?

hey question. i have white pus on my tonsils . they are a bit swollen . doesnt hurt when i swallow . sometimes it does. i got a swab test and i came out negative for strep . i went the morning i saw my tonsils so the doctor said perhaphs it was too early for it to show on the results. i got prescribed antibiotics . do i need that?
can i take advil with sulfameth/ trimethoprim
if you're still not feeling better, please seek medical attention again after you're finished with the prescription your doctor gave you
I would follow your doctors advice and its not clearing up please seek a review from them
How u doing
Is it bad if I get diagnosed strep without getting a strep test or throat culture? I’m taking augmetin and it’s day 3 and the pain seems to be a little bit worse but I don’t have that high of a fever anymore (peaked at day 1 with 101.9)
Hey man I’ve been taking augmentin since last 4 days now. Feels like nothings changing. Did it work for you?
I have acute pharyngitis and coughing but no fever and my nose are blocked. The doctor said no need for antibiotics but omg it was so painful that I thought it was blocking me , I was feeling tightness, severe pain , unable to swallow but now I feel much better just that it’s not completely going away and I know I suffer from reflux a lot and the type of food I ate must be causing a lot of reflux . Question is do I need to visit the doctor again because the sore throat is not completely healed been taking some meds for 5 days now or I should just keep on gurgling with warm water with salt and taking lozenges until I feel better ?
Which medicine did the doctor give you for pharyngitis, please tell me because I am also very upset 🙏🙏
Please sir please help me
Hello
Hello please reply
@@SonuSingh-zh2peare u relieved of ur infection now? I'm also facing same infection, pls reply SONU SINGH
Very curious is bacteria strep throat or tonsillitis would go away without antybiocs?
Is it normal as well to have a virus sore throat for 2-3 weeks ?
Use saltwater rinses
My son is 2.6 year old and he often get flu and cough. Im worried what should i do ?
What a lovely channel.
But why do I see Russian subtitles?
Haha no idea, it comes up in english for me - could it be a setting on your youtube?
I wouldn’t wish tonsillitis upon my worst enemy
went to the doctor today about my sore throat only on my left side… he said that it was viral and it look like a canker sore now all i can do is wait for it to heal…
Last October, I suffered from a two-week bacterial tonsillitis and my doctor gave me only clindamycin. This November, I am suffering from Bacterial Tonsillitis again. I don’t feel like going to the doctor again as he might prescribe antibiotics again 😢
Yup sometimes it really is needed! hope you are feeling better
I am also affected by streptococcus bacterial infection plzz tell me how are you nd which medicine did you recover from?
I think clindamycin is the best to go for real. Even the cheapest generic killed it in just a day. The last attack was in July. I tried not to take antibiotics but I just couldn’t take the pain so I opted for it again… But of course I still had to finish the 7-day treatment.
My son got prescribes with antibiocs twice and still he has a server sore throat. I don't know what to do.
I must be gone by now?
It works.. I'm on my 2nd dose and feel 💯 better
Doc, I finished my last day of antibiotics and still have a tiny bit of white in my tonsils. Should I be worried ? No symptoms other than the white in throat
Diptheria??
I'm also facing same problem, can u pls let me know how it is working out for u? Are u still under medication or got relieved from the infection?
I have the same white spot on the left side of my tonsils my ears itching, that happy when I eat green apple.
What if your ears hurt and are red?
I have a sore throat and dizziness I seen my doctor he said I had an ear infection but I have no pain in my ears he prescribed me amox-clav 875mg and steroids, I don’t want to take the steroids can I just take the amox?
My health is fully restored and I’m free from chronic sore throats after many years. I got cured with the help of Dr Oyalo whom I met on TH-cam and his remedy work for me perfectly
Thank you so much for this! I wonder, how many Antibiotics should we take? Or what's the normal number of antibiotics given to patients proven to have Strep Throat?
Hi, generally when I prescribe antibiotics I go for 7 to 10 days for sore throat infections
how many takes per day?
Does breastfeeding mom can take these antibiotics
Does it affect on breast milk

@@doctorkhalid if the antibiotics get rid of the symptoms but free stopping them, the symptoms return, is there a possibility of needing more antibiotics? Or will more antibiotics make them sick? Is there a chance it is viral if antibiotics helped this much?
I take antibiotics and i get diarrhea...can i continue this antibiotic and iam suffering from ibs ...it is so much difficult
I am currently on antibiotics for strep throat. I didn’t know I have strep throat because I didn’t feel any pain, just a fullness in my throat and white spots on my tonsils. I went to the doctor when I realized that my tonsils where leaking pus.
Sir I'm 5 month pregnant.. Is it safe to use tusq d lozenges tablet for throat pain
How does someone gets infected ?
My throat is so inflamed there’s so much piss and bacteria im on antibiotics no fever. This is my worst nightmare
Just went to my pcp and got prescribed amoxicillin for strep. I just thought I had a sore throat due to allergies but now I realize my symptoms hit 4/5 criteria for a bacterial infection.
Thank you for making a very detailed and well explained video 🦋
Hope those antibiotics have helped! Glad you found it useful :)
Same for me today, ugh. I have all of them but a fever and had a positive rapid strep test 😖
@@doctorkhalid what antibiotics to take doctors pls help ??
How are you now plzz tell 🙏
Okay so i was diagnosed with tonsilitis a week and a half ago, and i had swollen lymph nodes in my left neck, severe back pain accompanied with a mild fever (100 C). I was prescribed with antibiotics for 5 days as well, which calmed the fever down but didn't do much for the discomfort in my throat. After this, i was prescribed with a stronger antibiotic, but unfortunately, the infection spread to my right tonsil and now the pain is more than before. I am on day 4 of my antibiotic course, and i have no fever or back pain. Lymph nodes are still swollen, but i feel like they're going down slowly. The pus around my tonsils is not better tho. Tomorrow i have another appointment, and i might get injectable antibiotic to treat this one.
Are you fine now? For how many days you have taken the antibiotics?
@@mahakgupta2001 yes I’m completely fine now💕
I had to take oral antibiotics for 3 week straight. I went to theee doctors and they prescribed medicines for 5 days, and I saw no improvement.
Finally, my last doctor advised me to go for intravenous antibiotics… 2 doses. Exactly 24 hours after the day I went to the hospital for the IV, the white stuff (puss) reduced by 50%. By the second dose it was completely gone!
Please tell me that you are alive ???
Can someone please explain my situation cuz I got a strep and got injected then went to get tested and came out negative. I still don't feel better cuz I noticed my throat still inflamed, white streaks at back wall of throat, swollen tonsils, white tonsils, hard to swallow, some pain to talk and swallow, and stiff neck
Any updates?
@Sabrina Abrahimy yes, I was told by my ENT I had oral thrush and got anti fungals. I never knew antibiotics can cause oral thrush. I feel better now 😌
I worked out I had bacterial tonsillitis I had white spots in my tonsils and it was inflamed and I had a huge amount of razor like pain and I had drooling. Could barely eat or drink. Ended up getting anti biotics for 10 days 2 pills twice a day. Feel a bit better. What is really helping is eating 'cool' baby food like yoghurts, spinach and I have had a few vanilla icelollies which really have helps. I do find cool milky substances really really help. I can't eat anything rough even grapes, hashbrowns. Cod without the breadcrumbs is great. avoid lemon drinks. Go for cool or icecold milky drinks
I just got my antibiotics and also was prescribed lidocaine for the numbing I’m on day 2 of antibiotics AMOXICILLIN and I’m still hurting when did your throat start feeling any relief
I love your videos but let's face it... there is no normal access to doctors in the UK. You talk about watching over the next 48hrs but then you must book another appointment which at best woudl be in a week.
Completely agree, in the UK the average wait could be up to 2-3 weeks. We are atm just overwhelmed with appointments and not enough docs, unfortunately.
Can you please look into my problem
Please read all my problem if possible
1. I have been suffering from tonsillitis since 8 to 9 month.
2. At early stage i only get irritated on neck start coughing but no cough came out.
3. I use home remedy didnt work
Took cefixime azithromycicn and amoxy clav but dint work
Now i started getting pain on my neck since 10 days
And symptoms are
Neck pain not that worse
But i can feel while swallowing
No cough at all dry nor wet
Also no fever
Can you please give me some suggestions please sir
Which medicine did the doctor give you for tonsillitis please tell me because I am also very upset
If the patient presents to you with symptoms that started within the last 48 hours why not do a simple strep test if their score is over two? Why would you risk them having untreated strep throat when a very simple test could tell you? Not hating or judging, genuinely curious.
Great question, I know some countries work with this system and it sounds great, in the UK we dont have access to immediate strep tests so we do this scoring system which has a good level of accuracy.

Just had this conversation
He said no antibiotics in my heart I know he is likely right as no fever,white spots or swelling but this sore throat needs to go asap and taking paracetamol doesn’t really cut it when it comes to getting rid

It's going on a year and half of fire up my throat to infection to repeat to dry and red. Been on omeprazole 2 40s a day also 2 other antiacids, and still nothing. Now levofloxacin. Starting it this evening 7 500s for 7 days I believe. I hope this gets rid of it. I don't taste acid or anything from my stomach. It feels like it gets rawest in bottom of throat at top of chest. The red never left but but 3 months it didn't bother me then came back in may witch is same month it hit the year before. Had a light ran with a scope. They say acid but I really don't think it is.
For years I had chronic problems they called too much acid. Burned my esophagus, had chronic bronchitis, etc. They had me on acid reducers which gave minimal relief, and there are problems with them, too. It was only after I began taking high quality probiotics that it stopped. The only time I get that feeling now is when I’ve taken Advil (or anti-inflammatories) for more than a few doses/days.
@@t.brooks5082 just got off a week of strong antibiotics. Before it felt like it was slowly getting better. After those not sure if they are exactly what helped it has felt almost normal 2 days. I'll check probiotics if it comes back. It went away for a month or 2 I think it was after antibiotics also is why Dr tried it again. What's weird is antiacids don't seem to help. 2 40 omep a day. It's so had I haven't went back to a day job. But the past 2 days has been great. I'll be working part-time if its like this a few weeks from. Thanks for info. I knew I wasn't the only one. Also I don't taste heartburn at all even the one time I got sick from something I eat.
@@johnathanbeats Has your doctor tested you for H. Pylori (helicobacter pylori)? That's a gut bacteria which can cause imbalance of good/bad bacteria. I was treated for that with a regimine of antibiotics & antacids which helped improve some of it. If your stomach improved after antibiotics, it sounds like that may be part of the issue. However, the antibiotics can also kill off the good bacteria so MAKE SURE you get a quality probiotic asap if you haven't already. One of the ones I've liked is Garden of Life Critical Care. It has 80 billion CFU, & 15 probiotic strains. It has made a world of difference for me. Another thing that I've liked better than acid blockers has been papaya tabs. I wish you the best in your healing journey!
@@johnathanbeats Oh, one more thing. I had a hiatal hernia also (that's going fm the esophagus to the stomach).

Over Thanksgiving holiday I had a really bad sore throat had swollen tonsil with white spots and I kept coughing up phlegm…my ear was like an infection and it was super hard to swallow my own saliva. Today, my doctor prescribed me Doxycycline Hydrate 100. I notice the swollen part going down a tab bit but the ears and pain in my throat hasn’t changed. I’m going to give it a few days!!!
Update after 3 days of taking the Doxycycline I can truly say I feel great. I will continue to take my antibiotics with lots of water because that was horrible!!!
I'm in the same boat as you..I have really bad sore throat swollen tonsil(can't even sip water w/o severe pain) but no white spots and really bad ear pain. I was cautious of taking amoxicillin but after hearing your story I feel encouraged to take it.
Glad to hear you are doing better 👍🏼
I have this, literally exact same symptoms but I’ve had it for 5 days now and it’s progressively gotten worse even while taking Amoxicillin. I even spoke to my doctor over the phone and he prescribed Benzonatate for my throat irritation. It has helped with nothing, I’m still barely getting enough liquid and food but they haven’t given me anything for the pain. I’ve been sick for a month straight, I had the flu (for 2 weeks) which caused me to get sinusitis (currently 2 weeks) (which I still have and am taking medicine for) and then I had a Gastritis/GERD flare up that left my throat in shambles and covered in a horrible layers and bumps of yellow and white pus. (This last week) in total I have been sick for 4 weeks straight, which isn’t surprising because I am very very delicate and get sick nearly every month and even have bad reactions to vaccines and just overall have very bad health (even though I don’t live an unhealthy lifestyle). I don’t know what to do, I’m in such pain, I haven’t slept more than 2-3 hours every night since a couple of days ago. My joints have started to hurt. I feel like I’m dying and there’s no one trying to help. I really hope I start seeing results because I can’t afford a hospital visit

The doctor didn't want to prescribe a new one. Suggested I take another antiviral though I clearly have pus in my lingual tonsils.
I can't swallow most solid foods. Not because of pain, because I can't, food comes back or little bits remain on my tongue or in my throat, it's a nightmare.

I understand the methodology and intention here, but I can’t help but find this really, really unnecessary. There are tests for strep throat for this exact reason - it shouldn’t be a guessing game in the first place. I recently had a fever of under 100 with no white spots/pus. I was later confirmed to have strep throat and antibiotics cleared me right up. But based on this criteria, I wouldn’t “qualify” for the treatment I needed? Silly.
Everything that this Dr. Said in this video happened to me. They tested me for strep and it was negative. So she said would just prescribe antibiotics. Which now after watching this video I realize how much of a crap shoot guess that was. Here I am now, having had this sore throat for 3 weeks but after the antibiotics during week 1 the sore throat has INTENSIFIED so much!! It's painful and irritated and mucus-y. If I would have seen this video first, I would have asked the nurse if she really thinks it is a bacterial infection or if it's just a viral infection. From watching this. A few other YT Drs, I now know that majority of these sore throats are viral infections. Apparently that's what I have because it's still here and the antibiotics have only intensified it because now the bacteria in my body has fought against it more. Everything he said in this video was valid and necessary. If antibiotics worked for you, then your sore throat must have been the bacterial one, but it's not as cut and dry as 'You don't have strep, so here's some antibiotics'.
@@thelovelyvalc I'm sorry you had to go through that, but that doesn't discredit what I said. You tested negative for strep, so why you were still prescribed antibiotics is beyond me. I never said every sore throat should get strep, but that "there are tests for strep throat for this exact reason - it shouldn’t be a guessing game in the first place."
If you test positive, you should get antibiotics. If you test negative, you shouldn't.
It hurts like hell when i swallow my saliva, its only one tonsil and it doesnt have white shit on it despite it being big as hell, i was perscribed amoxicilian but also my left eye is bloodshot red and the left tonsils the one thats fuked any thoughts on if amoxicilain will help me achieve a state of breathing comfortable and seeing?

I have not slept for 3 days because of tonsilitis.
I started to choke on food....my tonsils been swollen and stinky for 5 years now...me being a smoker doesnt help
I've had this for 5 days now. Insane fevers, and sever throat pain with pus
Ive got a sore throat so i took some anti depressants , n now im pregnant 🤰
Onse I had angina (that's how we call it in the Netherlands) .... Wel it was I nightmare and u lukly did gets antibiotics.
Cool, angina is something completely different here in UK - its like chest pain due to arteries being blocked up. :) hope the antibiotics helped you!
I get a weird and very peculiar set of symptoms every year in the month of october or november. I get a cold and a sore throat. My nose keeps leaking with very thin and watery mucus and i can't swallow my saliva. I also keep drooling continuously due to which i can't sleep. It is not painful. And no fever even. I really wonder what is the cause of my sore throat. I wish we had some good antiviral medications for this condition.
Same Here. That's why im here. Need answers
Same every November. It's horrible
You have tonsillitis. I get the same disease every year around the same time as well. Definitely tonsillitis
God thx i need this now

Am having same problem..
My doctor prescribe antibiotics and is working fine..
Am feeling better each day
What's the name of the antibiotics prescribed for you?
Same. I disagree with this doctors view on antibiotics. It worked just fine for me. Good as new within 2 days.
I hv😢
oh no :(
I totally have bacterial infection. 60 hours on amoxycilin and no improvement. Is it a superbug? What to do?!
Did u get better??
@@tonmoysikdar9249 I did, thank you! It took 3 months with very slow improvements.
@@tonmoysikdar9249 I don't think antibiotics will help. They didn't help me.
@@lanael7278 what were ur symptoms like?? Did u have dry mouth and throat?
Went to the doctors after 3 days of strep, no sleep, constant pain, fever, no food or water, couldt swallow. And no cough what's so ever. Legit bacterial infection
I got a steroid shot and a antibiotic shot in the glute cheeks. After 2 hours I started sweating profusely, laid it out and then shortly after started coughing up all sorts of mucus.... Pain subsided and I was able to sip water again.... Even my kidney pain and fever went down
Now I have a bad taste in my throat. I think I formed blisters and they popped cause blood and pus was coming up later that day...
I felt nearly 85% better 12 hours after getting the shot. However I'm wide awake at 4am am my butt still hurts and I got a bad taste in my throat hahahah much better trade off from strep.... Was trying to look up after effect symptoms from the shot
Which medicine did the doctor give you for throat please tell me because I am also very upset 🙏
Hello?
The anti biotics are called Clindamycin HCl
Not sure what the steroid was. But the anti biotics worked after a week
@@Mrbungleface0u818 Can I use any other steroids then?
How mg was clindamycin?
Lucky if you get antibiotics off the doc now you can go three months with a bacterial chest infection and then...you will get them meanwhile you suffer 3 months
They made you wait that long? sorry to hear that
Strep A and the Flu at the same time taking amoxicillin for 10 days
To much talking doc...
