My son's onset was a result of impetigo, an he just recently had an exposure when his sister got it - we're still dealing with that one.

 

How does your son normally deal with exposures? My son is very sensitive to them, and will typically react for several days (tics, elevated OCD and rages)but then will come back to where we started within about a week or so if he didn't actually "catch" the strep. Since its the immune systems response - not the bacteria itself - that causes the problems, we've always had "flares" with exposures.

 

The severe part of our flare ups usually last 2-4 days or so, depending on where the exposure and how often he was with that child (whenever his sister gets strep its usually at its worst). Keep a close eye on your son to see if he shows any improvement now that he's been removed from the source.

 

We usually wait until at least day 3-4 of our "flares" to see the doctor since we've been able to record such a predictable pattern. But ultimately you have do decide if you can "stick it out" until Friday!

 

Good Luck!
