Many, many kids get pandas despite taking antibiotics for strep. Strep is a resistant bacteria, and is becoming more and more so the more antibiotics are being prescribed for it.

My son's pediatrician didn't treat his strep under the age of two until I told her we were passing it back and forth to each other. We each got it about 3-4 times until she treated it in him and eradicated it once and for all (at least for that winter).

Exactly! My kids haven't gotten strep yet, but I know how contagious it is. I don't go running for antibiotics for viruses, but isn't it better (for health, QOL, and prevention of antibiotic resistance) to medicate the first sick family member rather than needing half the family to take multiple rounds of antibiotics?
