@drshazmamithani: Double tap if you’ve had strep throat. Strep throat is a bacterial infection of the throat caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. It is very contagious within households and close contacts. It requires a swab for diagnosis (this is important to confirm the diagnosis, because most sore throats are actually caused by viruses). If strep throat is confirmed, antibiotics should be started. The reason for antibiotics is to prevent complications of strep throat (like more severe infections, and very rarely, rheumatic fever). Antibiotics also help reduce the contagiousness of strep throat. It is generally accepted that kids can return to school or daycare, and adults to work, after they’ve been on antibiotics for 24h, are fever free, and their symptoms are improving. Be sure to share and follow for more helpful health tips for you and your entire family. . . . . . #strepthroat #strep #sorethroat #pharyngitis #antibiotics #er

I remember in the 1980s if one kid in the house had strep, they gave everyone antibiotics!

COVID destroys CD123 cells, the APC required to fight strep. It also sets up viral reservoirs in the tonsils. No wonder every1 gettting strep!

I don’t believe this 24hr thing. I’ve seen it in my daycare. Kid out sick, diagnosed Monday, comes back Wednesday, everyone exposed to him gets strep 3-4 days later. It’s happened so many times.
