This will be a single-blinded randomized-control trial enrolling all patients presenting to otolaryngology in London, ON with a PTA. Patients will be managed in a consistent protocol amongst team members. Diagnosis of a PTA will be made by the attending physician and/or ENT team. Patients presenting symptomatology will be recorded (e.g. trismus, dysarthria, dysphagia, documented fever, etc). Previous use of antibiotics prior to presentation will also be documented, as well as use of IV antibiotics at the time of initial assessment by the ER team. After the patient has been diagnosed, the patient will be given the option to enrol in the study. If the patient agrees to enrol in the study, the following will occur. Each patient will be randomized into one of two arms - those that will receive post-drainage antibiotics versus those that will receive placebo. If randomized to the antibiotic treatment arm, then each patient will be given Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid as the antibiotic treatment of choice for 7 days unless the patient has a pencillin-allergy. If so, they will be given clindamycin. All patients will be counselled to return to hospital if their symptoms persist. In addition, each patient will be contacted after 7 days to assess if their symptoms have resolved.
