We have strept going through my home/daycare.
My eldest dd was diagnosed last Fri. She got a penicillin shot. My grandson (different dd) was taken to the ER last Sat, lethargic, running a high fever, and dehydrated. They assumed it was strept because of his aunt. He's on penicillin, too. His sister was tested and diagnosed yesterday. She's on Augmentin. I sent my 3 yo home on Mon with a 101.7*. Dad says "they think it might of been" strept but weren't positive. No antibiotics. He's taking her back to the dr tomorrow. (I'm not sure they've even taken her.) She's not coming back until she's on antibiotics.
I've been wiping everything down with Clorox wipes, spraying everything that doesn't move with Lysol, bleach all the plastic toys, washed the cloth toys, and Pine-sol and steam mop my floors every other night.
I have antibacterial soap in the bathrooms and kitchen. I've been gargling with Listerine twice a day.
Any other suggestions on how to stop this?
I rarely have more than one person get sick. With pink eye last summer, one child and I got it, no one else. With hand foot and mouth, I never had more than 2 kids get it. Even back in the days of chicken pox, I only had 2 kids get it.
