News from the Nurse
STREP INFECTIONS ON THE RISE
IDPH and the CDC are observing an increase in strep throat -- specifically invasive group A streptococcus (iGAS) -- infections among children. Early recognition, diagnosis, and appropriate treatment of these diseases in children and adults is very important.
The following steps can prevent the spread of strep throat:
Wash your hands frequently with soap and water
Avoid sharing eating utensils with someone who is sick with strep throat
Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze
Stay home when you are sick
See the doctor when experiencing symptoms so you can be tested and treated
Symptoms of Strep:
- Sore throat that can start very quickly and cause severe pain when swallowing
- Fever
- Red and swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches or streaks of pus
- Tiny red spots on the roof of the mouth
- Swollen lymph nodes in the front of the neck
- Headache, nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain.
