Hi...potato chips won't cause throat infection. This could be a viral or bacterial pharyngitis. I do not approve of using over the counter antibiotics. I suggest you go ahead and do a rapid antigen streptococcal test and a throat swab culture after consulting your pediatrician. If any one of these is positive, then we are justified in giving an antibiotic.
