Information from Your Family Doctor Strep Throat What is strep throat? What are the signs of strep throat? Strep throat is an infection caused by bacteria. It is called "strep" because the bacteria that causes the infection is called streptococcus. Children with strep throat have a sore throat and may have tummy pain or a red rash with small spots. The rash is worse under the arms and in skin creases. How is strep throat treated? Your doctor may give you or your child an antibiotic. Antibiotics kill bacteria, which helps strep throat go away a little faster. It can also prevent a few rare but serious conditions that people with strep throat might get. It is important to take all of the medicine your doctor gives you. Should all sore throats be treated with antibiotics? No. Not every sore throat is strep throat. Bacteria only cause about 5% to 10% of sore throats. The rest are caused by viruses or other problems, and antibiotics will not help. Your doctor can do a test to make sure it is strep throat.

[Include Tag: Error reading format file: /includes/1new_top.htm (-9984)] English Index A B C D ... Z Clinical Reference Systems: KidWise Health Advisor 10.0 Spanish version Strep Throat Infection DESCRIPTION (Diagnosis must be confirmed by a physician.) Your child has a strep throat infection. It has been diagnosed with a throat culture or rapid strep test. The treatment of strep throat can prevent some rare but serious complications: namely, rheumatic fever (a disease that affects the heart) or glomerulonephritis (a disease that affects the kidneys). In addition, with treatment the fever and much of the sore throat are usually gone within 24 hours. HOME TREATMENT Antibiotics Your child needs the antibiotic prescribed by your physician. Try not to forget any of the doses. If your child goes to school or a baby sitter, arrange for someone to give the midafternoon dose. If the medicine is a liquid, store the antibiotic in the refrigerator and use a measuring spoon to be sure that you give the right amount. Your child should take the medicine until all the pills are gone or the bottle is empty. Even though your child will feel better in a few days, give the antibiotic for 10 days to keep the strep throat from flaring up again. A long-acting penicillin (Bicillin) injection can be given if your child will not take oral medicines or if it will be impossible for you to give the medicine regularly. (Note: If given correctly, the oral antibiotic works just as rapidly and effectively as a shot.)

FACTS ABOUT Strep Throat Strep throat is an infection caused by the Streptococcus pyogenes (strep) bacteria. The infection is more common in children than in adults. Children with strep throat often have a fever and complain of a sore throat, headache and stomach-ache. They may also have swollen, tender glands in the neck, or sores around the nose. Scarlet fever, a rare form of strep infection, is characterized by a sore throat, more general symptoms, such as fatigue, and a red rash on the body that feels like sandpaper. Some children can get very serious complications, such as rheumatic fever, if the infection is not treated completely with antibiotics. The strep bacteria are found in an infected person's saliva. The infection spreads through the air when the infected person talks, coughs or sneezes. The spread of infection can be stopped by treating the infected person with an antibiotic. It is difficult to diagnose strep throat just by looking at the throat. The physician has to take a culture (or swab) of the throat to see if strep bacteria are present. If strep throat is diagnosed, the physician will prescribe an antibiotic, usually penicillin. This medication comes in the form of a pill, a liquid or an injection. If treatment is begun soon after the infection has started, the child will feel better very soon. This treatment may also prevent the serious complication that can result from strep throat. Things Parents Can Do Watch your child for signs of strep throat if another child has it.
