What causes recurring sorethroat after antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Mostly likely viral infections or allergies but sometimes people can be carriers or strep in very low quantities. These people can be checked for strep with a throat culture when they have no symptoms and if the result is positive, treat with another class of antibiotic that covers the entire bacterial load in the throat. This will cover the strep.
