In reply to help.. I have thrush.. very sick right now, posted by spriggy on August 5, 2005, at 2:00:11
Spriggy,
I just saw this. My daughter had a negative strep test several years ago. The doctor really let me have it for being "stupid" and trying to seek an antibiotic for her when she "just had a virus." I left the office that day feeling really put down.
Two weeks later I had to bring her back because she was having severe peeling of her hands and feet. This time she was seen by her regular doctor who yelled at me for not getting her on an antibiotic for her STREP throat! I told him to read her chart, I HAD brought her in for what I thought was a strep throat and was told I was stupid, that she had a virus and didn't need an antibiotic.
Well, it wasn't a virus. It was strep, and not just strep but scarlet fever. She had to go on an antibiotic even though her throat was better.
Now I'm not saying you for sure have strep. But since you aren't better at the very least you need to follow up with more testing.
Hugs,
