Return to Doctor Now: Without knowing details about the Strep diagnosis, the persistence of fever suggests that your 7 y.o. may have a concommittant viral infection. More info is needed such as the presenting symptoms, was diagnostic test for strep done, current symptoms, & more. Re-examination is necessary at this time. See your doctor now for re-assessment to ensure correct diagnosis and prompt treatment.

? how labeled ?: Was this based on a strep test or just called strep. Even if test positive, the kid can have a co-infection with mono or other virus. Strep is easily managed by using the penicillin based antibiotics if they are given as prescribed.I would contact the kids doc and discuss the pattern you are seeing.
