Strep Throat!

[LaraMN]

Woo-Hoo!

I'm treading in territory I haven't visited since about the age of eight.

At least it's easily treatable.

Be nice to me, or I'll lick you with my toxic saliva!
:P

1. I wondered if it wasn't that...

or staph.

I'm glad you can take care of it now. :hug: Feel better!

4. The weird thing I still don't understand is why my lungs hurt.

I didn't think that was a symptom of strep.

9. Streptococcus bacteria can infect other areas too...

2. My Guess was Strep last night...but

We got enuff "know it alls" around here. I assume there are some "Antibiotic:nuke: " involved in your treatment?

5. I hope you feel better, soon.

I'm just getting over bronchitis, but am wondering if I wasn't infected with strep -- they didn't do a culture. My throat was soar for over two weeks. My doctor put me on an antibiotic, but it took all of the ten days before I started to feel better.

Take it easy, get plenty of rest, and drink lots of fluids.

Here you go Lara. Have a nice hot cup of green tea. It's my special blend I get from Japan.

10. Geez, Lara! I hope you feel better soon.

:hug: I've only had strep twice in my life. I used to have tonsilitis all the time as a kid, but never strep. It's not fun, and I know how you feel. :pals: Get well soon!
