Community acquired infections

Community acquired infections - Treatments

Treatment is dependent on cause. 
In general, individuals with viral infections are symptomatically managed. Bacteria infections are treated with antibiotics, choice of which is guided by type of infection and type of bacteria causing the infection. If an abscess has developed, drainage of the abscess is often recommended.
