Guest guest Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 , My girls present differently with strep......they each have their own symptoms......so I guess you should go with how SHE usually does with strep. My Olivia usually spikes a fever, cant swallow, aches and has stomach cramping.........in bed in misery, and its pretty obvious something is going on. Once she actually went from strep to scarlet fever!!(and she is the only NON pid kid in the house!!) Savannah will say.....ow, my throat hurts..and keep going.......and she can also have strep. Or she will puke and say her throat hurts. But they each tend to run the same pattern every time. So try to think back to other times she has had strep......and if this isnt the same pattern, then its probably a cold. I hope the " little warm " isnt a big fever! Olivia was sick the last two weeks.....I took her to the dr, b/c of continuing cold symptoms bugging her asthma, she checked for strep and it was neg, but her throat was red. Now Brennan has it, runny nose, losing voice, tired, cranky, asthma flaring.........I am hoping against hope it isnt going to move on to the other two kids.(thats REALLY a fantasy LOL). Last night was Olivia's birthday sleepover, and next week on her realy b-day she is getting her ears pierced, and she was so afraid they would all be to sick to do any of it......so I can feel for you and on that. Brennan was on treatments every 4 hrs but we still made it out to eat last night and bowling, so it wasnt too bad. Hopefully, we get thru the ear piercing day on Wed, and then IVIG is Thursday and maybe that will help with the whole thing. Hope she is feeling better.
