 ==Overview==
-The throat of the patient is swabbed for culture or for a rapid strep test (5 to 10 min) which can be done in the doctor's office. A rapid test tests for the presence of antibodies against the bacteria. If the rapid test is negative, a follow-up culture (which takes 24 to 48 hours) may be performed. A negative culture suggests a [[virus|viral]] infection, in which case [[antibiotic]] treatment should be withheld or discontinued.
-A doctor will most likely prescribe [[Amoxicillin|Amoxicilin]] a.k.a Novamoxin.
