This episode we look at differentiating viral and bacterial infections, using the feverPAIN score for tonsillitis to rule out viral causes.

Otitis media is covered and the importance of identifying red flag, mastoiditis and meningitis.

We talk about overuse of antibiotics for viral infections and how to discuss this with patients. The use of delayed prescriptions for safety netting purposes.
