There are a few ways that you can get it: You can breathe in droplets, touch something with droplets on it and then touch their mouth or nose, drink from the same glass or eat from the same plate as a sick person, and touch sores on the skin caused by group A strep. gabbyglasgow https://padlet.com/gabbyglasgow/3chajzkj3oo60lrd/wish/1904097424 2021-11-21 06:20:16 UTC https://padlet.com/gabbyglasgow/3chajzkj3oo60lrd/wish/1904097424 Strep lives in the nose and throat and can easily spread to other people. It is important to know that some infected people do not have symptoms or seem sick. Anyone can get Strep Throat. Symptoms include: A sore throat, pain when swallowing, fever, red and swollen tonsils(sometimes with white patches or streaks of pus), tiny, red spots on the roof of the mouth (the soft or hard palate), and swollen lymph nodes in the front of the neck. Other symptoms may include a headache, stomach pain, nausea, or vomiting — especially in children. Someone with strep throat may also have a rash known as scarlet fever. gabbyglasgow https://padlet.com/gabbyglasgow/3chajzkj3oo60lrd/wish/1904102789 2021-11-21 06:30:54 UTC https://padlet.com/gabbyglasgow/3chajzkj3oo60lrd/wish/1904102789 Prevention: There are many way to help prevent Strep Throat. You can cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, put your used tissue in the waste basket, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or elbow, not your hands, if you don’t have a tissue, wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, and use an alcohol-based hand rub if soap and water are not available. You should also wash glasses, utensils, and plates after someone who is sick uses them. gabbyglasgow https://padlet.com/gabbyglasgow/3chajzkj3oo60lrd/wish/1904109837 2021-11-21 06:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/gabbyglasgow/3chajzkj3oo60lrd/wish/1904109837 Doctors treat Strep Throat with antibiotics. They prescribe either penicillin or amoxicillin as a first choice for people who are not allergic to penicillin. Doctors can use other antibiotics to treat strep throat in people who are allergic to penicillin. Patients with strep throat should stay home from work, school, or daycare until they: No longer have a fever and have taken antibiotics for at least 12 hours. Patients are supposed to take the prescription exactly as the doctor prescribes. gabbyglasgow https://padlet.com/gabbyglasgow/3chajzkj3oo60lrd/wish/1904114012 2021-11-21 06:52:00 UTC https://padlet.com/gabbyglasgow/3chajzkj3oo60lrd/wish/1904114012 gabbyglasgow https://padlet.com/gabbyglasgow/3chajzkj3oo60lrd/wish/1904115113 You should wash your hands often to help prevention.]]> 2021-11-21 06:54:08 UTC https://padlet.com/gabbyglasgow/3chajzkj3oo60lrd/wish/1904115113 gabbyglasgow https://padlet.com/gabbyglasgow/3chajzkj3oo60lrd/wish/1904117921 2021-11-21 06:59:05 UTC https://padlet.com/gabbyglasgow/3chajzkj3oo60lrd/wish/1904117921 gabbyglasgow https://padlet.com/gabbyglasgow/3chajzkj3oo60lrd/wish/1904118421 2021-11-21 07:00:00 UTC https://padlet.com/gabbyglasgow/3chajzkj3oo60lrd/wish/1904118421 gabbyglasgow https://padlet.com/gabbyglasgow/3chajzkj3oo60lrd/wish/1904119184 An image with more symptoms presented. ]]> 2021-11-21 07:01:30 UTC https://padlet.com/gabbyglasgow/3chajzkj3oo60lrd/wish/1904119184 gabbyglasgow https://padlet.com/gabbyglasgow/3chajzkj3oo60lrd/wish/1904120519 2021-11-21 07:03:56 UTC https://padlet.com/gabbyglasgow/3chajzkj3oo60lrd/wish/1904120519
