I think it would be easier if we were able to distinguish the sore throats associated with a cold and those with strep throat. If it involves tonsils, swollen glands and temperatures it's more likely to be bacteria based, go see the doctor. If it's a cold sore throat then a trip to the doctor is probably not necessary. It's a bit hard trying to get your kids to explain it though. I never understand why parents send sick kids to school. Case in point, "Little Johnny was vomiting last night but he is o.k. this morning." He may not be vomiting but he is still highly germ ridden. Keep sick kids out of the community whatever illness they have.<br />Anne**Anne**https://www.blogger.com/profile/05595796965034742923noreply@blogger.com
