Can After Antibiotics For Tonsillitis The Child Of 2 And Half Year Get Strep?
my 2 1/2 year old has been on cefzin for 3 days being treated for tonsillitiis. the last day and a half she has been very grumpy, like she doesnt feel good. is there a possibility she could still get strep like her sister had, even while she is on antibiotic?

Hi...it depends on the antibiotic she is on. All antibiotics do not have action against streptococci. So If there is a point of contact with another kid who is having strep sore throat there is theoretically a possibility that she can get strep sore throat or pharyngitis.
