[quote=Anonymous]This is OP, and dd is on antibiotics again with her 5th case of strep this winter. We saw an ENT, and she did say that getting her tonsils out would be clinically recommended at this point.  I asked if we should all get strep tests first to make sure one of us isn't a carrier, and she said yes.

Dh and the dog tested negative.  I got tested Monday with the quick test. The rapid test was negative.  I also had a sore throat and fever of 99, but otherwise no symptoms.  The long test came back positive.

Now, I can't figure out if I'm a strep carrier, or finally got strep from dd.

To further complicate matters, the lady giving me the strep test at the CVS minute clinic said that she had recurrent strep because her father was a carrier.  However, once he was treated for strep, and she started twice a day gargling with hydrogen pyroxide solution, then she stopped getting strep.

Any words of wisdom?  I guess at this point, dd and I finish our antibiotics, and both get strep tests again.[/quote]
