Guest guest Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 My husband and I both have strep A. We're now pretty sure he caught it from someone on his deep sea fishing trip, and gave it to me. I went to my Dr. today.. and he's funny - he looked at my throat and said " Hello!.. That's nasty! That's strep! " ..And my ears are pretty full of fluid (but I'm not near as bad as yesterday) He wrote a scrip for both of us for Amoxi. He said we'd be non-infectious after 48 hrs on antibiotics. I've never had strep throat before. He couldn't do the official test for Strep (to document it) because I had already started us both on antibiotics yesterday after I made my best guess as to what this was. ( Strep A can affect the heart and kidneys and hubby was already 10 days untreated.) So we're both doing 80mg/kg for 5 days then 40mg/kg for 5 days.. and he said if a sore throat ( & swollen glands) comes back within 6 months to come back. So. No Lyme relapse (yet).
