Question: Can strep throat turn into pneumonia!?!?!?
The Dr!. said it was strep throat!. Then after taking the anti-biotic as prescribed (for 8 days so far) and doing everything like the Dr!. said she began throwing up today!. No fever, was a little pale, acted fine right after she was done throwing up (before she started again), I haven't heard about any chest or back pains, just throwing up and a lot of coughing that she was doing anyhow before it all began!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't know if strep can turn into pneumonia, I just got over it about a week ago!. My Dr!. had me on antibotics for 10 days , and once before a few years ago I had it and I was really sick with high fever this time my Dr!. had me on antibotics for l0 days plus he had me come in for a pencillian shot 2 times in one week!. You need to contact your Dr!. about this she could have a secondary infection!. Did she ever break out in a rash!. This sometimes will go with strep!. If strep is not treated right it will keep coming back!. I hope she get to feeling better really soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If any person is not breathing deeply enough moisture can gather in the lungs providing a good environment for bacteria to form and pneu could be one of them!. With strep they are usually worried about resistant germs and secondary infections!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
The rash and throwing up indicates that she is allergic to the medication!.
