Customer question:
How long after getting over bacterial angina can we still risk infection to other people? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Once you've gotten over bacterial angina and been properly treated with antibiotics, there's usually no risk of infecting other people. Treatment with antibiotics usually clears the bacterial infection and dramatically reduces contagiousness. The recommended period of isolation and caution after treatment of angina with appropriate antibiotics is usually 24 to 48 hours. Still, the exact time may vary depending on the severity of the infection and individual response to treatment. Check, among other things, a little more about Angina Pectoris.
In addition to the above, it is essential to observe general hygiene measures, such as regular hand washing, covering the nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing, and avoiding close contact with other people, for a few days after the end of the treatment to prevent possible contamination and spread of infection. Although the risk of infecting other people after treating angina with antibiotics is usually shallow, it is always recommended to follow the doctor's instructions and continue to take precautions until he is sure there is no longer a risk of infecting others.
