[|Human|] My 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with strep back in early December. We have taken her back 3 times to recheck and every time she still has strep. Doctor keeps putting her on new antibiotics. When we took her back a few days ago, she still has the strep but now has blood in her urine (without the presence of proteins). She s having accidents and it does not seem that this new antibiotic is working at all. It s been 4 days since the new antibiotic. I am concerned that too much antibiotics is going to cause other problems as well. Should we demand to see a specialist?
[|AI|]  Hi.... by what you say I feel that your daughter is having recurrent streptococcal infection. But I would like to know how this streptococcal infection was diagnosed - was it with a rapid antigen Diagnostic testing or by throat swab culture. Throat swab culture is the gold standard technique to diagnose streptococcal infection. Moreover, not all the streptococci are pathogenic, some of them may be commensalism also, which means that they are normal flora in throat I suggest that you consult specialist. Regards -
