F.   Pulmonary stenosis (narrowing of the pulmonary valve) is one of the hallmark defects in TOF.

A. Penicillin is used to eradicate the group A streptococcus bacteria that cause rheumatic fever, preventing further complications such as heart damage.
B. Corticosteroids may be used to manage symptoms of chorea (involuntary movements), but the primary treatment for rheumatic fever involves antibiotics like penicillin to eradicate the infection.
C. Salicylates (aspirin) are often used to manage the inflammation and fever associated with rheumatic fever, so they are not avoided. This choice is incorrect.

B. Rebound abdominal tenderness suggests peritoneal irritation, not specifically testicular torsion.
