Parents, it is strep throat season. March and spring is the time of the year with the highest number of strep throat cases. Strep throat is often characterized by one or all of the following symptoms: Sore throat, headache, fever, and stomach ache. Sometimes a kid has all of these symptoms, sometimes just one. Many times, I've examined a child where they mention nothing about a sore throat, but their stomach feels terrible and they think (some do) they are going to vomit. Then I examine their throat and it looks horrible. The reason for this is the swelling and inflammation of their abdominal lymph node chain. Lots of times, kids get swollen neck glands with colds, ear infections, pink eye, all sorts of stuff. They also get a chain of swollen belly glands with strep throat. Treating strep throat is a fairly straight forward affair. It requires a thorough history and exam by a healthcare provider, a culture of the throat, and antibiotics. Amoxicillin is the medicine of choice to treat children but there are plenty of other options for children who cannot tolerate it or, for example, are allergic to penicillins. About two days after starting the antibiotics the child should get a new toothbrush or soak the existing toothbrush overnight in Listerine. You can also run the old toothbrush through the dishwasher. That will sterilize it. House calls for sick kids! No extra fee. Most insurances and Husky accepted. The pediatric office comes to the house. All testing done right there.
