I don’t have any citation, but if you google bacterial ear infection or strep throat you’ll see that it’s true. And my pediatrician agrees with me, even if the urgent care docs don’t mention it.
- raverbashing 3y agoThe risks of Strep Throat include Rheumatic Fever, Kidney disease https://www.cdc.gov/groupastrep/diseases-public/strep-throat.html https://www.cdc.gov/groupastrep/diseases-public/strep-throat... and https://www.cdc.gov/groupastrep/surveillance.html https://www.cdc.gov/groupastrep/surveillance.html and in some cases even death https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6474463/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6474463/ Thanks, I'd rather not risk it (though I will wait a couple of days to see if it gets better)
- in_cahoots 3y agoYes, but even your link says that complications are uncommon. I’m not advocating waiting until you’re on death’s door, but isolating and waiting 2-3 days to see if you’re getting better is fine.
