Question is ?????: You get the most from this site when you provide a clear question with any post. If yours is about strep risk it is minor. Risk in season varies between 1/4 in families with close contact to less than 1/32 in an office setting. If concerned have a strep test done.

Strep exposure: Since you have been exposed to Strep and you now have a sore throat, I would suggest a throat culture and treatment with antibiotics if it is Strep or a bacterial infection.

Duration?: It appears that you are having a viral infection probably transmitted from your son. If the duration of your symptoms exceeds 10 days, will need to consider sinusitis. Best to consult your doctor if symptoms exceed 10 days.
