Hi My son has never tested negative for strep. However, he does not experience symptoms besides:
Basically the only surefire way we know he has strep is that either a family member tests positive (because we DO get symptoms) or I hear that his friend has strep. So I get him tested and it’s positive.
It’s my understanding that when children are strep CARRIERS there is a prolonged course of antibiotics that should be given, what is this? Can you help me relay this to our pediatrician? I get the impression he has not heard of the (proven) link between strep and these conditions affecting my boy.
I’m tired and I am seeing the issues progress without the ability to help him…
How can I help advocate for him?
