clindamycin (cleocin) can be used to treat strep throat, but it's not the recommended treatment. strep throat is caused by streptococcus pyogenes. recommended treatment is with penicillin for 10 days. alternatives include amoxicillin; penicillin allergic patients can use azithro/clarithro/erythro-mycin. there is some evidence showing cleocin works, but it's not first choice

You can shoot the mouse with shot gun. But you do not go for the same. You can cure the strep throat with simple penicillin V tablets, 250 mg three times a day for ten days.

Yes. You can use the same. But you should not use the same. You do not use the shot gun to kill the mouse. Penicillin is cheaper and better.
