Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for the query.
If you have a confirmed case of strep throat then you would benefit from a course of antibiotics.
Typically a course of antibiotic for strep would include a penicillin based antibiotic unless you have an allergy to penicillin.
We are not able to provide prescriptions via this platform.
In order to obtain a prescription you would need to see a local medical provider or contact a telemedicine service which might offer prescription options.
