A member asked:

Strep throat&been on antibiotics since monday night, 48hrs.i'm taking amoxicillian 500mg, 3xday & just started medrol (methylprednisolone) tonight. am i still contagious?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: People are not considered contagious starting 24 hrs after they start their antibiotics. To date, group a strep has been universally sensitive to the penicillin group of meds so your treatment should fix the problem.
