28. got strep throat for the first time last summer. now i've been getting it every two months. how can this be prevented?

Could be carrier: If you've been properly tested and treated with right antibiotics and yet experiencing recurrent bouts, you are probably a strep carrier. If so, you should be treated with 10-day augmentin, clindamycin, or benzathin penicillin injection plus rifampin.
