My kids get the liquid form, but I've always used the pills. Do you have trouble swallowing pills?

Different antibiotics work on different bacteria. Strep does tend to respond better to the penicillin family in general. When my daughter was getting strep every month though, they ended up putting her on a couple antibiotics at once to finally knock it out of her system for good. In the olden days, they would take a throat culture, find out what strain it was and then prescribe the appropriate antibiotic. We don't want to wait for that process these days!
