One more round...
Strep again. Yup, that's 3 streps and 2 sinus infections since December. I will definitely be talking to my doctor on Monday. Maybe someone reading this knows...I think I need my tonsils out. I've never had them out and my brother seemed to get a lot of strep & other throat related illnesses and having his tonsils out alleviated all that. At least I caught this one early so that by my Saturday wedding I had already taken 48 hours worth of antibiotics and was able to get through just fine...in fact I was in for a swim with the kiddies after the wedding last night! Maybe slowing down would also help!

Oh Dana, that's awful. My sister Maria gets strep a lot too. The only 2 things I know you have in common are that you both live in Canada and lead really packed, active lives. Hope it stops soon.
Dana! no!! Not again!
I remember when Caroline was small, she had 3 or four ear infections and 4 or five rounds of strep in a very short time. One more and they were going to consider taking out the tonsils....and then, never again.
I hope you are feeling better !!!!
I say get 'em out. But just don't expect any ice cream. That's the one thing I was looking forward to, because I remember as kids they were always telling us you get ice cream after they take your tonsils out, but unfortunately it's a BALD FACED LIE! Ice chips. That's it. I don't know about you, but I'd rather have nothing than ice chips. Yuck.

My doctor said the same thing your doctor said, "it's no minor surgery at your age". He also felt that since 2 of my streps overlapped, I really only had strep twice & maybe someone else in my house has it and keeps giving it to me without showing symptoms...we had Jack swabbed and he's positive!
oh no! this is like a movie with Dustin Hoffman, and Jack is the baddie!! What the heck can you do!!
Sorry for being melodromatic, I have had two glasses of wine...
