Maybe. The most common reason for a sore throat is a cold or flu virus. Since Cefaclor is an antibiotic that only works on bacteria and the cold or flu are caused by viruses, then the answer would be no. However, bacteria can also cause sore throats and then the Cefaclor may be helpful. Antibiotics that are known to kill a specific type of bacteria are chosen to treat a bacterial sore throat. Usually a simple test is done to see if there are bacteria or viruses in your nose or throat and, if bacteria, then the type of antibiotic that is know to kill that bacteria is chosen. That may or may not be Cefaclor, depending on the exact bacteria that infected your throat.

You can treat strep throat with (rocephin) ceftriaxone. But this is third generation cephalosporin and is considered as one from higher antibiotic category. This is almost never indicated for strep throat. You can treat strep throat with tablet penicillin 250 mg three times a day. You can give 500 mg or even 1000 mg three times a day, if you feel like giving higher dose. Strep throat almost always respond to penicillin.
