| Re: Strep carriers
Be careful, 1069. You know by now that I hate doctors and all that goes with it. But in this case I would actually tell you to go back and see if they can give you a more generalized strep test.
Here's why. As a youngster, my mom brought home strep from school; she got it, I got it, dad got it, brother did not get anything more than a sore throat for about a day. BUT about a month later, his acne got really worse, so off the the dermatologist for some face goop, but it didn't work AND then he got a scratch or a cut that got infected when it shouldn't have. Long story short, he didn't get strep throat, he got strep body. And he too had lite sor throat from time to time during that but never enough to get tested.
Secondly if this is more than once recently for strep positive, you should be on something stronger than amoxicillian because you've probably made the strain inside you reisistant to such benign antibotics.
I rarely take the side of going to the doctor, much less returning, much less "get something stronger," so hopefully you'll at least consider it this time when I do think you should. |
