I have had strep throat 5 times in 3 months and i think i'm getting it again. what are the causes of this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Let me explain: Experts can narrow recurring strep throat down to a few factors. One is that you have simply contracted a resistant form of the bacteria or your antibiotic has failed for some other reason. Another possibility is that you may have a weakened immune system. Another is that you are or someone in your family is a strep carrier.
