Could Recurring Strep Be Related To Throat Cancer?
I have had strep throat four times in two months. My doctors think it is because of my three young kids and now we are all on antibiotics. They tested positive for strep but are asymptomatic. Is there a link between recurring strep and throat cancer?

Hi,
Bacterial throat infections spreads through droplets coming into air means by aerosol route.
So,in your case it could possible that infection is spreading among family members from one another known as direct transmission.
It has nothing to do with throat cancer.
You people require complete course of appropriate antibiotics to get rid off this infection completely.
