I always spoke up following my instincts to the doctors regarding odd strep symptoms with my kids. They never believed me. They were wrong every time.

Hi I hear that the antibiotics will be given to kids in school for prevention, but is that really good idea? Because most kids have mild symptoms and many of them do already go through this infection without even knowing they got it, because most parents wolud not go doctor with mild symptoms in kids. So what if many of the kids has already this bacteria and now naturally immune? Does the antibiotics not gonna affect this kids who had already build immunity to that? Second does preventing bacteria with antibiotics not gonna cause resistance to it? I really not like the idea of giving preventive antibiotics to all groups in school kids will not be much better to test first the kids and after decide of antibiotics.

My child will enter P2 in a few weeks. He always brings this disease home from school. 4 times, 5 times a year. The school has water play with sand. That can't be why they're sick. It's great that there is a game, don't get me wrong, but it can be sand - water can be infected. They don't clean it or I don't know! Amoxicillin always helps us, it's the only one I've tried everything else, but it's the only one that takes it away, we can't take it, they don't give it all the time! There was a time when the child suffered from this bacteria for 3 months. He couldn't stand on his feet, it hurt when he cried, so a doctor gave him! Amoxicillin at last! How can I protect against it? The child's eyes are always conjunctivitis and my throat is always inflamed. Or our ears, I ordered a star for the body, because the family doctor only gives me paracetamol, but it doesn't even do anything! It always comes back. Always!!! I don't want to hurt you, but I'm nervous because we get sick 4-5 times a year, which only adds to the other illnesses. Fortunately, we will recover somehow my son did not die like many other children here!!! There were relatives here, now the streptococcus was brought home to another country, because we already caught Megin in the summer. Let's just say this summer is strange. I know that environmental pollution and our warming waters are the cause, but I don't know what to do.. What can I do as a mother???? Scotland is a very nice country, but I'm tired. This is the last place where you can live I probably can't do anything against the bacteria, so we caught it every week If you still have something to say, don't hesitate. As a Hungarian, I am anti-war because our water gets warmer and we get sick due to wars and environmental pollution. What can a mother do? Nothing right?
