| To diagnose [[pharyngitis]], a detailed history is necessary. Physicians should be careful in initiating antibiotics, as restraint does not prolong recovery or increase the risk of infections with [[S pyogenes]].

| Predictive algorithms have been developed to guide the investigation and ovoid overprescribing of antibiotics. A common problem seen in [[primary care]], caused by infectious, [[bacterial]], and [[fungal]] agents, is [[pharyngitis]]. Infections with GAS([[group A Streptococcus]]), which may contribute to suppurative and non-suppurative complications, are the most worrying. Diagnosis of the cause of pharyngitis is currently done in accordance with RADT by main clinical features seen in the modified Center or FeverPAIN scoring systems. Stewardship of antibiotics and the low incidence [[Streptococcal]] complications of pharyngitis indicate that Treatments can be supportive in many cases. The empirical antibiotics should be restricted to patients who are seriously ill and have a high chance of complications or do not show any signs of improvement within 5 days of presentation.<ref name="pmid32273409">{{cite journal |vauthors=Sykes EA, Wu V, Beyea MM, Simpson MTW, Beyea JA |title=Pharyngitis: Approach to diagnosis and treatment |journal=Can Fam Physician |volume=66 |issue=4 |pages=251–257 |date=April 2020 |pmid=32273409 |pmc=7145142 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
