A shortage of antibiotics has put parents and health practitioners on edge in the UK, where several kids have been killed by the invasive strain of strep A infection. Here’s what you need to know
Parents in the United Kingdom are scrambling to find medicines for their sick children amid a surge in bacterial infections and a shortage of antibiotics.
A friend has been on the phone to 111 for 2 hours and no one has answered yet. Her son is ill and they're worried because of Strep A. The contagious disease can easily spread by close contact, sneezing or coughing in close proximity, making authorities particularly concerned about the schools where pupils have been diagnosed.
Retailers say wrong messaging by the authorities after publicly announcing that there’s no shortage of penicillin and amoxicillin has fanned tensions in the country. Desparate customers lock horns with chemists--even resort to violence-- seeking access to these medicines.
