Strep Throat

Viral infection, can it be mistaken for Strep after a swab test of the throat?

It can be.  Sometimes doctors will go ahead and prescribe an antibiotic just in case the swab was wrong, especialy if it is a Friday.  It does happen.  They don't want an ifection worsening over a weekend.  

Take care.
God bless
Feel better.
