Pharyngitis: Pharyngitis is another name for sore throat & may occur with many germs including strep. While viral pharyngitis requires no treatment,strep needs rx to prevent complications and risks of spread within the community.Simple office based testing can quickly confirm or exclude strep.Even strep will feel better without treatment, but longer term complications can arise weeks or months down the roaD
