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.
Doctors usually prescribe about 10 days of antibiotic medicine to treat strep throat. Within about 24 hours after starting on antibiotics, your child will probably no longer have a fever and won't be contagious; by the second or third day, other symptoms should start to go away. Even when kids feel better, they should continue to take the antibiotics as prescribed. Otherwise, bacteria can remain in the throat and symptoms can return. Completing all the antibiotics is the best way to prevent other health problems that a strep infection can cause, such as rheumatic fever (which can permanently damage the heart), scarlet fever, blood infections, or kidney disease.
