How much time does strep throat last after taking anti-biotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confusing question: You are considered contagious for 24 hours after starting antibiotics. The duration of your personal symptoms may vary, some a few days , many a week or more.Persistence of symptoms after this point suggest a co-infection with another agent, possibly viral.
