Should I take DS (6) out of school tomorrow?

[NMom]

My son was recently diagnosed and has been on antibiotics for about 2 months. He responded very well and is non-symptomatic right now. I just found out today that the sibling of one of his classmates has strep! The doctor said he's seen a lot of cases over the weekend so it's going around. So what do I do?? His actualy classmate doesn't have it yet but has obviously been exposed. Do I take him out of school for a couple of days or wait to see if his classmate comes down with it - her mom will let me know but it'll probably be too late. Or do I up his antibiotics and keep him in school until/if someone in his class gets sick? I'm so panicky right now - cannot go back to our summer symptoms!!

here's the dilema...its the beginning of the school year...how many cases will actully be in the class you may want to pull him for....

you probably know the sensitivity scale of your kid..or maybe that is what we ar figuring out...

i would up abx for 3 days till you get more or no confirmaion..

i don't know if yours is twice a day..i would up it tonight..
