Hi Moms. Well we had a positive test for strep and since on antibiotics the sore throat and fever has left but now we have stuffy nose and hacking cough.
Anyone else had this symptom with their strep?
Thanks.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thanks for letting me know. Wasn't sure about it. Most didn't list it as a symptom that I saw on the internet.
We (the whole family) are on antibiotics though we all where not tested but have the same symptoms. Really hoping this stuff will leave us soon. Haven't been sick in a very long time and this is not fun at all.
Thanks again.

Yep... just watch for secondary infections....
I once had dripping sinuses... and then a cough... because drips from sinuses... can lead to the chest... and cause a chest infection.
In my case, that's what happened... and then I got fever and sick again... and Bronchitis... and then almost Pneumonia... I got a secondary infection... from a head cold... that is what the Doc told me.

all the best,
Susan
