Quick recognition of what it is! Then antibiotics
Posted Mar 4, 2017 by Tmjmem 1003
Treatment of Lemierre's syndrome is high-dose parenteral antibiotics directed against anaerobes (clindamycin, metronidazole, chloramphenicol, imipenem, or cefodizime). Prolonged therapy is recommended because of the endovascular nature of the infection. Ligation or excision of the internal jugular vein is frequently required, and drainage of other abscesses may be necessary.
