What is the first line treatment for strep throat?

  1. Amoxicillin

  2. Penicillin VK

  3. Dicloxacillin

  4. Augmentin

The correct answer is: Penicillin VK

Penicillin VK is considered the first-line treatment for strep throat. It is the preferred choice due to its effectiveness, safety, and low cost. Amoxicillin and Augmentin are also commonly used to treat strep throat; however, Penicillin VK is usually preferred as the initial treatment. Dicloxacillin, on the other hand, is not typically used to treat strep throat as it is more commonly employed for infections caused by Staphylococci bacteria.
