she has streap throat after the culture was done.  also, she had trace amount of blood in the urine which they are doing a culture too.  she doesnt complain of it burning, but did have stomach pains which we were told could all be related to strep.  also swollen neck glands, other glands fine.

hi there, I would not be that worry, once they started school , all kind of sickness will happen because it is a different enviroment . after a year or so she would be fine. my daughter had the same when she started school the first year but she is doing much better now. it is normal for the first years just because they are mixing with different kids ands yes they will get sick. but it will be okay
