Using this site: You get the most from this site when you provide detailed information about a health issue followed by a clear related question. In general throat infections are most often viral but can be strep. Viral infections do not require antibiotics. Strep infection, confirmed by a 5 minute office test would respond to many antibiotics.You can decide to get tested or not.
