Wish me luck.

My college son was back this last weekend and called Monday that him and his entire baseball team had strep. Sure enough my 13 yr old had his throat covered in white pus sacks on Friday and then my nephew in the afternoon. We were all together over the weekend because my dad was undergoing brain surgery due to melanoma that wasn’t caught in time, obviously unaware of any impending illness. I know that some say that strep doesn’t need an AB but according to our GP, you don’t wanna mess with scarlet fever and an AB is necessary if the culture is positive. So far so good but just the thought of it makes my throat hurt. Dangit!

FWIW my doc is old school and gave my 13 yr old a penicillin shot while my 20yr old went to his local urgent care and received amoxicillin.
