Drs. Oz and Roizen: Reducing overuse of antibiotic treatments for kids
Q I took my 6-year-old to the doctor because she had a sore throat with white patches – strep, I assumed. So I figured the doctor would take one look at her and prescribe an antibiotic. But he took two throat swabs, did an office strep test on one – which he said was negative – and sent the other sample to a lab. When those results came back, it turned out it was strep after all. Then the doc gave her amoxicillin. But I wonder, is this doctor incompetent?
