What Causes Strep Throat And Ear Infection In A 4 Year Old?
my four year old was diagnosed with strep and an ear infection in both ears had a heart ate of 142. Is that normal and is it possible that she had a false neg test two months prior for strep when she came down with an itchy rash. They also did a cbc which was normal.

Hi....heart rate of 142 without fever is not something to be ignored.
Please get back to nearest emergency room.
The test done one month back cannot be false negative as the CBC also was normal.
