Re: think son has strep? Culture question?

Thankfully in my area they've always done a culture even if the quick one comes

up negative. It shocked my ped the last time it came out positive. I'm

thinking he's a carrier of strep. Need less to say a viral protocol is in the

future. Gave him some olive leaf tonight, more c and d.

Thanks

Re: [ ] think son has strep? Culture question?

My son got a neg on the rapid, the doctor refused the culture saying the

rapid was accurate. With that episode my son developed PANDAS.

The rapid is only 50-70% accurate and the AAP recommends a culture to

confirm a negative rapid test.

> Threw up today getting off the bus at school. Saturday he said he had a

headache but doing a round of ac chelation and seemed ok. Last time this

happened, we took him in for a strep test. The quick one said no, they culture

it and it turns positive in a couple days.

I eliminated strep at my house with OLE.

Strep is a bacteria, not a virus. However, OLE does help with both strep

bacteria, and viruses.
