How to treat Streptococcus in a smear?

The most effective for streptococcal infections are the antibiotics of the penicillin group, cephalosporins, monobactams, and other beta-lactam antibiotics. Antibiotics of the group of tetracyclines and aminoglycosides also have a high degree of activity. The mechanism of action of all beta-lactam antibiotics is that they act on the cellular wall of streptococci, and also affect only the growing cells.

Primarily affect the cells with a mureinic framework. The most effective in the treatment of respiratory infections, including diseases such as angina, pneumonia, diseases of the abdominal cavity, purulent wounds. Well penetrate into the blood, have a wide range of action. Cephalosporins are also widely used in the treatment of bacterial infection. With regard to streptococcus use mainly 3-generation cephalosporins, since they are active mainly in relation to gram-negative forms of microorganisms. Cephalosporins are more resistant to beta-lactams, they are not metabolized and are excreted from the body as a whole.

Have a wider range of effects compared with penicillins, and also have a prolonged effect, so it is enough to take the pill once a day. The mechanism of action is to suppress the activity of enzymes involved in the synthesis of the murine skeleton. The third generation cephalosporins, for example, cefuroxin, cephalosporin, cefatrikson, cefperazone, sulperazone are most effective against members of the streptococcus genus. Many of them are injectable.

It is not advisable to take them orally because they are acid-fast and readily break down under the action of hydrochloric acid in the gastrointestinal tract. Characterized by low toxicity, rapid digestibility. Effective in diseases of the respiratory tract, infections of soft tissues, bones, joints, bacterial suppuration. To reserve antibiotics, which are prescribed in case of ineffectiveness of the above groups, include antibiotics of the carbapenem group, monobactams. Merolinem is the most active against gram-negative forms. But it has a high activity, which can cause serious side effects. Applied with severe suppuration, complications, in the postoperative period. Completely synthetic and highly specialized, that is, they act only against infections of a narrow spectrum, including against streptococci. Are completely synthetic means.

Medicines for Streptococcus

The main drugs for the treatment of streptococcal infection are antibiotics. They should be used only after a preliminary consultation with a doctor. Also, you need to follow certain rules when taking antibiotics. First and foremost, you need to choose the right antibiotic, which will show activity in relation to streptococcus, and not other microorganisms. Secondly, you need to correctly choose the dosage of the drug. Dangerous can be either with a too high or too low a dosage. When the dosage is too high, not only streptococcus is killed, but other representatives of normal microflora that protect the body. This can lead to the development of a stable dysbacteriosis, the development of complications, other serious infections, including fungal infection.

Too low dosage can cause insufficient activity of the antibiotic, as a result of which not all the microflora of the pathogen will die. This will lead to the fact that embroidered bacteria will look for ways to adapt. As a result, a mutation occurs, which is accompanied by the fact that the bacteria become resistant to antibiotics, and even resistant to a whole group of similar antibiotics. To precisely select the dosage, it is necessary to make an antibiotic susceptibility test, which will show to which antibiotic the selected pathogen shows the greatest sensitivity, and what dosage of this drug will be optimal.

Traditionally, antibiotics are used to treat streptococcal infection:  cefperazone, which belongs to the third generation cephalosporins. This antibiotic refers to long-acting drugs. The patient is given 500 mg per day, once. With a strong infection, progressive and severe infection, a condition close to batkrimeemia and sepsis, the dosage can be increased 2 times - 1000 mg once a day.

Sulperazone  is an antibiotic, which includes cefaferazone and sulbactam. These antibiotics are resistant to beta-lactamases. Enter only in the form of injections. The dosage, the frequency of treatment and the scheme can be chosen only by the doctor, since it depends on a number of factors, including the severity of the disease, the degree of bacteremia, the attendant factors.

Also well-proven  ampiox, which is a mixture of ampicillin and oxacillin. It is widely used in the treatment of respiratory tract infections (such as angina, pneumonia). Also used for infections of the abdominal cavity, infected purulent wounds. It is a combined preparation with a wide spectrum of action. Well penetrates into the blood. A day is recommended for 1 tablet, since it is a product of prolonged action. Refers to a group of penicillin derivatives. The mechanism of action is that the drug acts on the cell membrane. It affects only growing cells, like the entire group of penicillins.

Cefatoxime  is an antibiotic belonging to the group of cephalosporins of the 2nd generation. Resistant to acid, therefore can be used for treatment in the form of tablets. It is a drug of prolonged action, applied once a day. It is active against the whole group of gram-negative microorganisms.

Vitamins

With streptococcal infection, as with any other bacterial infection, vitamin supplementation is not recommended because they act as growth factors for microorganisms that act as causative agents and support the disease.

The only vitamin that can and should be drunk during an illness is vitamin C, or ascorbic acid. It is applied in a double dosage: children - 500 mg per day, adults - 1000 mg per day. It stabilizes the walls of cell membranes, neutralizes free radicals, toxins, stimulates the state of local immunity, increases endurance and the body's resistance to infectious and inflammatory diseases.

Alternative treatment

It is believed that alternative treatment is less dangerous, and entails fewer complications and side effects. However, it is not. Any remedy can have various side effects, including worsening of the condition. Incorrect intake of medications can cause poisoning, intoxication. Often, alternative recipes contain drugs that are incompatible with other components, are incompatible with drug therapy or physiotherapy.

That is why, before you start treatment, you need to consult a doctor. This will avoid numerous problems.
