Antibiotics are Needed for Strep Throat
13700 Woodward
869-1800
Sometimes a sore throatrepresents more than minor irritation resulting
from a cough or cold Occasionally a soee throat is the result of an infection
caused by � �lytic streptococci bacteria. When this type of infec
tion occurs, the condition i commonly referred to "strep throaL" If a
strep throat infection is left untreated it can lead to rheumatic fever and
heart damage in children. For this reason it is important that children who
complain of sore throat for men than 4 to 5 day be see by a physician.
Typically a sttep throat eaases painful swallowing, tonsil swelling and
tenderness, and fever. According toan article in the journal Patient Cart.
lOre throat along with coughing, itchy eyes, and lymph node swelling in
the neck frequently are signs of a viral infection that may be mi taken for
strep throaL The best w Y to tell the differenc i to have a culture of the
throat area made by a phy ician. The procedure provides fCX' a more ac-
curate diagnosis hich . <Is in selection of the best treatment '
According to many phy icians, the be treatment for trep throat is
either a single intramuscular injection of penicillin or oral penicillin tab
lets for 10 days. If there is the possibility of allergic reaction to penicillin,
eJllvomycin appears to be the antibotic most often recommended.

The purpose of the reception
was to infuse the as ociation's
campaign to reduce homicides in
Detroit with new hope.
In her theme, "Speak' to the
young people," the Honorable

IT SAYS GET our young
, people with ideas, instill in them
mores of gratitude and respect for
decency from infancy, nay, from
conception.
Wisdom shone when the sense
of grapplipg with who needs
mercy and what it is leads to the
conclusion that sometimes the
greatest mercy that can be shown
is correction. •
Each word, rich in hope, was a
morsel bit fit to build a life on. It
conveyed a need to live in hope,
that we should not waste life but
live it.
Everyone departed abuzz,
lifted up in hope.
