Sore throat is among the most common infections that we manage in primary care. Doing it right is important, which means avoiding overtesting, overtreatment, and overmedicalization of the patient with a sore throat. Medicalization in this context refers to how our decisions regarding testing and treatment can "train" our patients to believe that they always need these interventions, and inappropriate medicalization is an important driver of unnecessary testing and antibiotic overuse.1 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
