Is omnicef (cefdinir) ok for strep throat?

It will work well: This is like taking an elephant gun to kill a squirrel, but I have done it before and will do it again.Strep is killed off by this med and if the patient in unable to take penicillin or amoxicillin, it is a better back up med than many others.
