[quote=Anonymous]DS7 has an apparently very atypical recurrent presentation of Strep A: his salivary glands swell excessively on both sides. No sore throat, fever, tonsil changes or anything else that "says" strep—except positive swabs. Antibiotics fix it but then it starts again in a few weeks. Doctors seem at a loss as to how to stop the recurrence and surprised by the symptoms. Either it's just an unusual presentation or there's an unknown secondary infection/organism that is cooccurring with the strep. We know it's not mumps, mono or typical viruses. Has anyone BTDT? Was it just Strep A? Did you eventually find an antibiotic that stopped it? Thanks so much. [/quote]
