I feel so fing crappy
Judging by the symptoms on Web Md I am pretty sure I have Strep. I figured I was around my sick nephew on New Year’s Day so surely if I had it I would have gotten sick earlier but apparently symptoms can take between 2 and 5 days to show up, lucky me. I got it right on day three. At least my Aunt is a nurse I’m going to call her and see if she get a Strep test from work and check me out. If I have it she’ll get me meds for it too. Apparently without treatment the infection will go away within 3 to 7 days, however if you don’t go on antibiotics you can be contagious for up to 3 weeks even after your symptoms go away. I don’t want to infect people around me, especially since I babysit a lot so I’d rather go on meds for it, at least that way after 24 hours I am no longer contagious.
