Clinic took a throat swab and no call back. So I'm assuming it was nothing serious.
The swab was to see if it's bacterial. If no call, it's likely viral and did not require antibiotics. Do you have any other child symptoms (sinus pain, runny nose, congestion, cough)? If so, more likely viral.

Either way, you should be feeling a bit better in the next 2-3 days
