                        My brother-in-law's children were getting strep throat all the time and found out their in-door dogs were carriers!  They got new homes for the dogs and the children haven't had strep since.  Also, when my daughter was young she got it a lot.  The doctors prescribed different drugs and finally  penicillin cleared it up.  That was over then years ago and I don't know what medications they are subscribing  now.  Check with your doctor.
