Can i recatch strep throat while finishing keflex for strep?

After, not on: You can be re-exposed to strep and get it again after the antibiotic is out of your system. A proper tissue level in your system prevents strep from establishing in your throat. If your symptoms persist, you may be co-infected with a throat virus like mono that can occur at the same time.
