on 1/30/2006 My children have had strep on and off for the past two months. I discovered by searching the Internet that their toothbrushes may have been re-infecting them. Throw out all toothbrushes 3 days into taking antibiotics. Sharing a tube of toothpaste may also lead to re-infection (if they drag the toothbrush on the opening like mine do) so throw that out too.
