Both penicillin and macrolide antibiotics have been regarded as acceptable therapies for group A streptococcal pharyngitis for decades. Because of its convenient dosing, azithromycin has become the most commonly used alternative to penicillin in treating this common illness. Resistance to azithromycin in the United States has remained negligible over the years.
The main function of pons is to basically act as a bridge or highway for relay of many signals to and from the cerebrum and the cerebellum. This is the center that acts as the point of origin for various nerves in the body, including the important cranial nerves.
es traversing the pons pass on to the cerebellum (or âlittle brainâ), which is concerned primarily with the coordination of complex muscular movement. In addition, nerve fibers running through the pons relay sensations of touch from the spinal cord to the upper brain centers. Many nerves for the face and head have their origin in the pons, and these nerves regulate some movements of the eye-ball, facial expression, salivation, and taste.
