I've been battling strep for over a week - and as an adult it's awful. I had it last Feb. too. I was just thinking yesterday, how awful it was when my daughter was little & got sick & couldn't vocalize it in the same way except to say my throat hurts. Once she had the test, they said no it's negative, and then she spent time with great-grandparents, only to learn that the test went to positive later! You feel so guilty all the people you expose.
I knew last week I had strep didn't need the test -- but I was so bad - because I was sooo busy at work - so I had some left over amoxicillian and tried to take that, but by Saturday it was evident it wasn't working. Went to the doctor & yes, positive for strep & they gave me that new Z-pack or Azithromycin - that you only take for 5 days & it stays in your system for 10 days -- hoping that's true, because I've taken the 5 days & still feeling bad.
Strep really is serious. Hope your girl feels better soon. I bought some ice cream too last night - so tell her to enjoy
