strep does not really have "classic white spots". it tends to have classic red spots called petechiae. it is okay to take a person outside when they have strep but unless he was on an appropriate antibiotic for at least 24 hours i would not expose him to other people (i don't know that age of your son).
my eldest son is on meds for strep and my youngest child is just now showing symptoms. would i be okay to take him out? . over the past month or so we have had strep run through our house twice for my eldest and once for my other sons and me. my youngest son has the classic white spots on his throat but no fever. i have called our doctor and he is supposed to call in an antibiotic. i need to know is it okay to take him out to the store church etc. even if he is on antibiotics and not running a fever? how long should i keep him inside the house?
