I had surgery a month ago and am on pain meds, which of course make me fairly nauseated. This past Monday ds awoke with a terrible headache and sore throat. Took him to the pediatrician and he tested positive for strep. Since I had been feeling pretty yucky myself, I went to see my doc the same day. My strep test was negative, but, doc wanted to send it off for a culture. Ds started antibiotics right away and felt much better by the next day. Today, 4 days later, I get a call from my doctor's office saying the culture was positive for strep and she was calling in an antibiotic. I'm not feeling that bad, about like a mild cold, really. My question is: Do I have to take the antibiotic, which I know will make me sick to my stomach(they always do), or am I likely about over this anyway, so what's the point?
