A member asked:
Would a doctor know i have strep throat by just looking inside my mouth doctor did that and gave antibiotics could i be misdiagnosed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Strept throat: If a skilled doctor looks in the answer is yes. Misdiagnosis is still always possible as the only way to be certain is to do a throat swab. Given this most of the antibiotics used will cover strep throat.
