Even topical antibiotics (used for acne, etc.) carry a risk - FYI.

Also, if you are prone to strep, know that it is a self-limiting illness and antibiotics are used to prevent possible complications versus curing the strep throat so, myself personally, would refuse antibiotics even if I did have strep.
