WWYD re: baby and strep throat

We are supposed to head down to the Ozarks for the weekend w/my H's side and one of the kids that will be there was diagnosed early this week w/strep throat.  They have been on meds since either Monday or Tuesday at the latest.  Would you feel comfortable having your baby in the same house as the kid for two days?

I might call the pedi in the am to get their opinion.....

  • If they've been on antibiotics for 24 hrs+ it should be okay. It would still probably concern me but likely it would be fine. I'll bet by this weekend the kiddo will be feeling back to normal as well.

    Ditto.  I'd worry b/c I'm a worrier, but it should be fine. And if it helps, strep is really rare in babies as young as Parker.  Not impossible to contract, but highly unlikely.  It is like one of the few illnesses that some how their little bodies don't pick up too easily.

  • Thanks ladies, this makes me feel much better.  I was torn at first, I didn't want to be that mom that worries too much (and I'm the same All-His, I'll probably still worry a bit ;)) and ruin H's weekend by saying we can't go. 

    Is it bad that I want to bring a mask for her to wear while she's around us?!  Ok, I'm kidding.......mostly Wink

  • Dang it! My parents are going down this weekend, I wasn't able to get the time off :( LOL

    I think you'll be OK. Still don't let Parker make out w/ his cousin!:) LOL

  • I would be fine with it.  C is at daycare with tons of kids everyday and there's been a warning sign up that someone has had Strep in his quadrant for the last 3 weeks (I'm sure several different cases with several different kids) but he was fine.  If the other child has been on antibiotics for 24 hours then I would have no reservations.
