Drive-by on my way to Cub Scouts. Sally has strep throat. Dr. said she was the second child this week with the same funky symptoms (headache, vomiting, but no sore throat) and a positive strep culture. Nice to know what it is and have something to do about it.

Having had strep which eventually evolved into rheumatic fever, I can tell you for sure, there is seldom a sore throat as a symptom. Strep is not synonymous with sore.
The first bout I had with it did produce rheumatic fever, which has a whole different set of symptoms (I was eight years old) and the second bout was the beginning of the onset of CFIDS.
It is nothing to trifle with and is highly contagious. But I'm sure the doctor has told you all that. Take care of all of you! *HUGS to Sally*

When you live in those place where it gets cold enough to put a coat to keep warm. Do the cools kids pull up their pants in the winter?
