OK...
So when I was little I always ALWAYS had strept throat. Really sore throat and fever sometimes near 104.
So the last few weeks I had a little sore throat and horrible cold symptoms...you usually do not have cold symptoms with strept throat so I attributed it to a cold.
Three weeks later, still here, feeling miserable, I hate going to doctors but I sucked it up.
He was able to determine I had a bad sinus infection, hence the cold symptoms, then looked in my throat and told me I needed a test.
Get the swab test and ten minutes later a nurse comes in with a shot says right away "ok, bend over"

I ask why, and she tells me I have strept throat

Now I used to get the amoxil or z-pack when I had it when I was little and be on my way...not this time. It was advanced and coating everything in my mouth and throat and needed a shot...right smack in the butt

And what really stinks is that I could've gone in on Wednesday and had Thursday off, but no....I go in after work on Friday and SATURDAY is my SICK DAY

here I am 48 hours later with strept throat and a sinus infection, on three different meds...still with a sore throat, still exhausted, and feeling all around crappy...and I get to go to work tomorrow for six hours and chase kids because I used up all my sick days from my car accident

I always thought strept throat was a little kid's disease...guess when you work in a daycare you get to relive your childhood again (well illness wise lol)
haha just another rant from me
