What Are The Side Effects Of Having Pacemaker While Suffering From Strep Throat?

I had a heart attack and a pacemaker inserted a little over a month ago. I believe I have strep throat (grandson diagnosed). Do I need to be on an antibiotic. I read in my pacemaker info that the body fighting off the strep can start rejecting the pacemaker as well? Thank you.
