DUUHHHH!

Last week I was asking "What is making my 15YO's tics act up so bad? Is it the new allergy medicine, the broken arm, etc." Well I have the answer, our four YO has strep. He had a cold and cough but strep was not even a thought. DDDUUUUHHHH! I should have known but when you are focused on the 15YO's problems the 4YO's cold seemed minor. I took 15YO to doc. rapid strep was negative but they are running cultures and they went ahead and put him on antibiotics, Omnicef.

 

Thank You Mr. Pediatrician for the antibiotics with a negative rapid!

Well, I'm glad you found that out! What finally prompted you to take the 4 year old to the doctor?

I finally took 4YO because he started running a low fever and cough was just getting worse. He never mentioned his throat hurting.

So was 4 year old positive on the rapid?

 

Make sure you re-test him 3 weeks after the last dose of antibiotics. What abs did they put ds4 on?

Yes 4YO was positive on rapid they put him on Keflex.
