Never thought Strep was an Issue---it may have been.

So regular antibiotics won't touch this? Does it have to be Peridex? Can you get a xylitol rinse at your local store??

We are using 'Chlorhexidine' as a swish and spit 2xday. Ds swishes for minimum 30 seconds. Best to do after eating and before bed so it stays in mouth.

 

The reasoning behind the xylitol gum is that it is on the mouth for so long. Other rinses may not have as much effect per doctor.

 

Jenniferg-- Azith abx did not kill the strep which tested positive and is the same kind as you find in throat.
