sore throat/strep dx Mon, URI symptoms today

[thenmama]

My dd was dx'd with strep on Monday (woke up sick with a sore throat, swabbed positive). She was switched from Augmentin to Clinda-- started taking it Monday night. She woke up today with what seems like URI symptoms. Her nasal congestion/running is way beyond the allergy sort, she's feeling all around lousy (more lousy), and now she's starting with a wet, mucus-y cough (that she says feels like it comes from the chest, not the nasal drainage, but I've got to observe a bit more-- still think it could go either way). Not really typical for the course of strep infection-- so maybe strep plus URI?

 

Of course these illnesses are all just variations on a theme for her. I'm probably just overthinking it or worrying more than I otherwise would about the presentation because we actually got the positive strep test this time. For dd that's actually the only unusual part in all this...

 

Ugh.
