How do you know it's Streptococcal pharyngitis? Strep throat is a very specific type of 'sore throat' where the definitive diagnosis is only made based on the results of a throat culture. Chances are it's something viral like a cold or the flu passed on by close contact or kissing and not DATY.
Streptococcus pyogenes is not limited to the throat.
If he gets a throat swab culture and it comes back positive, it is far from psychosomatic.
I had strep throat confirmed the previous time by my family doctor during my physical.
If it clears up on its own, it is NOT strep throat.I had strep throat confirmed the previous time by my family doctor during my physical.
It's generally sore for a couple days and swallowing food is painful. Like I mentioned its happened several times now so not a coincidence. Guess I have to be more diligent about excluding it from the encounter....oh well.
From my reading, it is not necessarily true. Indications are that strep throat can resolve without the use of antibiotics... it just takes a lot longer and the infected person remains contagious for a LOT longer. Much longer than a couple of days. However, it is STRONGLY recommended to use antibiotics to treat confirmed strep to speed healing, avoid infecting others, and avoid possible serious complications if the infection spreads (as you indicated).
Fair enough. I am not a doctor. I had always thought strep throat needed a course of antibiotics.
Streptoococcal Pyogenes, which causes "strep throat" is not usually found in the vagina of adult females, maybe in the flora of prebuscent females. If you find that you are getting strep throat after DATY on a SP, then maybe, you yourself are immunocompromised, or highly susceptible to strep. infections? Maybe you are eating at an assembly line place and the previous customers have strept and the SP is not washing between tricks?
