A member asked:
I am a new mother to 3 week old twins who were premature. i recently discovered that i have the symptoms of strep. can my kids contract it from me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
possibly: It would be a good idea to have this confirmed by tests and make the babies doctor aware of the results.If it is just a virus as most are you will not be able to do much more than monitor the situation as you would have exposed them before you had symptoms.Strep throat is not common in small infants.
