Possible association: Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders associated with group B streptococcal infection, or PANDAS, appears to be a real association of the effects of antibodies produced against the strep bacteria. Rheumatic heart disease occurs in children because of antibodies against strep which attack the heart, prevented with at least 10 days of antibiotics. Be sure you take 10 days worth.

Strep throat: It sounds like you need your airway assessed. Those are concerning symptoms that should be reviewed. All the best.
