Which antibiotics are recommended for Pertussis treatment?

Azithromycin, clarithromycin
Amoxicillin, amoxicillin/clavulanate
Ceftriaxone, vancomycin
Doxycycline, levofloxacin

The correct answer is: Azithromycin, clarithromycin

Azithromycin and clarithromycin are the recommended antibiotics for Pertussis treatment because they have better efficacy in treating the infection compared to the other options. Amoxicillin and amoxicillin/clavulanate are typically used for other respiratory infections and may not be as effective in treating Pertussis. Ceftriaxone and vancomycin are broad-spectrum antibiotics and are reserved for more serious infections. Doxycycline and levofloxacin are not typically recommended for Pertussis treatment as they may not be effective against the specific bacteria that causes the infection.
