Strep Throat

Hubby has a strep throat. At first I thought he might have a h1n1 so when he start having a fever I decided to bring him to the ER. We got there Friday at 11:30PM he went inside while the kids and I stay at in the car. We waited for him in the car for 3 hours and still we don't have any news on him. Then when its almost 4am I saw him walking out from there. He said they did not do anything but give him some pain medication for his throat. We went home and it was morning already. By 2pm his fever was getting high and he couldn't talk much. So I bring him to the urgent care, our doctor's office was closed because its Saturday. We wait for another 4 hours before we see the doctor they do the flu test on him and the result was negative. After that he did not do anything he send us to ER again.

My Goodness me it was a tough tough days for me. I was driving to go to the Hospital crying and scared. I bring him to a different hospital this time and when we got there it wasn't not busy. When the Doctor in ER saw him and see inside his throat he know right away what hubby got a bad case of strep throat. So right away they put IV on him and start doing the medication. After few hours hubby feel better and the doctor send us home with antibiotic and pain medicine.

He was okay until the next afternoon that he is having problem drinking again because of the pain. So this time the doctors office was open so I called and make an appointment the same day. I have to pull the kids out from school early because I don't have anybody to pick them up. Will they do the strep test again and it was positive. So the doctor give him a medicine where they have to give him two shot one is for the pain. the pain medicine lasted 24hours and his been able to eat and drink. He feel a little better the next day and today he still have pain in his mouth due to blisters. The doctor give another set of antibiotic to completely get rid with the bug. I hope all pain will go away soon.
