Answers:
the group A strep is eradicated from the throat 24 hours after the start of antibiotics!.
Yes, there are some people who can continue to carry the germ despite antibiotic treatment - but that's no important - we do not re-culture patients to detect that, and it is unimportant!.
Good advice to stay home for 24 hrs after the start of antibiotics - after that, party hard (:-)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've had strep throat like a week ago, and if you have the antibiotics just follow the instructions and you should be fine! Don't worry! Go ahead and go to the sleepover, you wont get anyone sick!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
