[quote=Anonymous]My 7 year old has had a fever on and off for almost a week, but otherwise not sick. I took her to the doctor yesterday and she tested positive for strep. We started antibiotics yesterday morning. This evening her fever is still getting higher (103.5). I thought by now the antibiotics would have started to work? She still doesn't seem particularly sick and isn't complaining of a sore throat. I can take her back to the doctor tomorrow, but should I just wait longer for the antibiotics to work? We've never had strep before. Also, as she's acting normally I'm eager to get her back to school. (But obviously won't send her back while still contagious or feverish). Anyone know the normal course of strep and how long it takes to get well after starting antibiotics?[/quote]
