Pharyngitis when caused by viral is self limiting and doesn’t require treatment.
But which are caused by bacteria and fungus definitely needs antimicrobial treatment.
Usage of unnecessary antibiotics can lead to drug resistant strains of bacteria which will not respond to treatments.
It is always better to increase the immunity of the body than to kill the bacteria. Killing bacteria doesn’t do anything to the immunity of the body.
Homeopathy targets the immunity, it increases the immunity so that a human body doesn’t get infected with the said bacteria or the fungus.
