Strept throat?: The only way to correctly diagnose “Strept throat” is by a throat swab test. Treating sore throat with antibiotics is not recommended as then you create antibiotics resistant bugs in your body. Most of what u describe are due to virus’s and antibiotics do not help. As Strept incidence varies around the world u would ask fo local advice. Go to uptodate.com and read more. Strep Tonsil OK
