Can erythromycin effectively treat tonsillitis and what factors influence its selection as a treatment option compared to other first-line antibiotics?
Erythromycin can treat tonsillitis, especially if the patient is allergic to penicillin. It’s less preferred due to greater potential for side effects and resistance.
Erythromycin is effective for tonsillitis, but is often a second choice to penicillin due to higher side effect rates and possible antibiotic resistance issues.
