Well no. The strep bug is a twisted viral cell. As we know viruses are non lifelike, therefor we can't kill the bug. But, with a steady course on antibiotics you will have the viral bug put away for a while. Most of the time it comes around about the winter time. If you recognise the strep bug early enough you can stop it. But if you had or have a tonsil removal, you are less likely to get strep throat!
