[quote=Anonymous]OP, this stinks, but keep in mind that strep is all over the place, all the time. Antibiotics are given not really to get rid of the strep throat (although they do that) but rather to prevent complications (such as rheumatic fever). DS had strep twice last year (once just strep, once scarlet fever). DH had strep 3 times last year also, and he has no tonsils! Every time he got it, I thought, there's no WAY this can be strep, and every time, I was wrong. I also went and got a rapid strep every time on the thought that maybe I was passing it to him, and cultures (both rapid and longer) were negative. During that time I read that 3 times a year is considered the norm for school-age kids. I was prepared for another round this year, and...nope. DS has not had it once in over a year. So, hopefully your run is over as well?[/quote]
