A Culture and Sensitivity (C&S) test would be done to identify the cause of the infection and determine the appropriate antibiotic treatment. This test involves collecting a sample of the throat swab and growing it in a lab to identify the bacteria causing the infection. The bacteria are then tested against various antibiotics to determine which one is most effective in treating the infection.
