Pharyngitis: Most sore throats (pharyngitis) are caused by viruses which aren't responsive to antibiotics. Only Streptococcal throat infections respond to antibiotics, typically Penicillin. Check out Centor score (http://www.mdcalc.com/modified-centor-score-for-strep-pharyngitis/) to see what we look for to determine need for antibiotics or not. Bottom line, go back to your Family Doc for re-evaluation.
