I know this isn't a medical board...but, i'm hoping someone here knows a little more about strep than i do.
I took my daughter to a small clinic yesterday (the only option for a Saturday in our area). And, he took a quick look and said she had strep throat. They didn't do the test to make sure. He just made the diagonsis based on her VERY red throat w/ white spots and her glands/nodes were very swollen.
She was unable to swallow the prescribed antibiotic, so i took her back for an injection. Acutally, 2 injections. But, they didn't tell me what it was.
I have made an appointment w/ her pediatrician tomorrow morning. We are so worried because it's so close to our trip.
Anyone have experience w/ strep? Are there certain antibiotics that are better? Is there a possibility that this isn't strep? Am I being overly cautious by taking her to the dr tomorrow?
She had the antibiotic shot almost 24 hrs ago. Is she still contagious?
I'm a nervous wreck! My daughter is an unusually healthy child and I have little experience w/ illnesses. Thanks for any advice you can give.
