I just got over strep a few weeks ago (think I posted about it, too). My doc said that untreated strep can lead to scarlet fever or rheumatic fever. Not sure how often that happens, but you might want to get DD to the doc when you're able, just to be safe.

I picked up a nasty throat virus that wasn't strep but lingered for months. My doctor had me gargling with hydrogen peroxide. If you could call the doctor to find out how much to dilute it and whether it's safe for her to try, that might help kill the germs causing her infection.
50/50 water and hydrogen peroxide is safe....don't drink it though :)

I woke up with a sore throat. Hubby mentioned it yesterday or the day before, now I have it. Poo.
