Capillaries are tiny thin-walled blood vessels that connect the smallest arteries and veins and allow the exchange of nutrients and waste between the blood and tissues.
However, one must take into account the reality of patient behavior and the price of unsuccessful or incomplete therapy. Three to six days of oral antibiotics for children with streptococcal throat infection is a safe treatment with a comparable effect to the standard duration of 10 days of penicillin. However, our results must be interpreted with caution in low-income countries where acute rheumatic fever is still a problem.
But what is the typical duration of strep throat? If strep throat is treated with antibiotics, after 24 hours, you will no longer spread the bacteria to others. Children can return to school and adults to work after 24 hours of taking antibiotics. After 24 hours, a person is no longer contagious. During the first 24 hours, there should also be a drop in temperature.
