And Then the Strep Returned

[billroper]

This was actually the development from Monday, but it's an ongoing story, so...

Julie's throat had been nastily sore on Sunday, so when it wasn't improved on Monday, I suggested taking her to the Walgreen's clinic. daisy_knotwise took her there, another rapid strep test was given, and it was positive. Thus were antibiotics prescribed.

Getting the antibiotics taken was another matter altogether. Apparently, chocolate flavored amoxicillin is still pretty revolting. Gretchen has taken the brunt of the "get this into Julie" duty and is somewhat the worse for wear.

On the other hand, Julie is now well enough (and no longer contagious enough) that she can return to preschool tomorrow.

Based on our family experience, I'd suggest if there is another round in less than a month or so, check with your family doc or pediatrician about having all of you treated at once. With one child strep positive, treated, then recurring less than a week off meds two times (so, third round of strep in under a month), we all got treated - which finally got rid of the problem. Funny enough, the adult with the nagging sore throat cleared up, too :-)
