Guest guest Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 I think I may have developed chronic strep throat infections. About 4 yrs ago I had my first strep throat infection in my life. I was 29 yrs old. Since that time I've had about 3 more infections, and think I have one right now. I'm going to doc in a while to confirm. I was reading about chronic strep in which one might have strep constantly in the throat and will test postitive, even though a virus is causing the inflamation. I'm wondering if that's what's going on with me, because I've always developed strep throat after one of my children has a simple cold, as my baby is currently getting over. In addition, I did test positive for group B strep in my vagina just before birthing my 10 mo old. If this is the case, what should I do? The problem is my symptoms always act like strep, the swollen tonsils, fever, no majorly runny nose or chest congestion, like what is typical with colds. Is is possible a cold virus is triggering strep infection, if I'm a carrier? I have recently replaced all tootbrushes in the house and will soak in peroxide, confirming the dx. TIA!
