What Causes Strep Throat Infections?

I have a sore throat at times and felt like I had strep. My grandson & daughter were diagnosed with strep. I went to the doctor on 9/7 & had a strep test that was negative. I was told it was probably allergies. I still have a sore throat at times. Would this still be allergies or could it be strep?
