Strep, strep, GO AWAY!

Is someone in the family a carrier? Is he drinking after friends? Does he wash his hands? Could he be re-infecting himself with his daily inhaler???!!!!

Today Quinn chose to take a mega dose oral antibiotic over one-stop penicillin shot. Next time - otolaryngology - where I will again make my case that kids with cleft palate (even submucus clefts) are not candidates for tonsillectomy. But, maybe there are newer techniques without the risk of permanent velopharyngeal incompetency. Maybe.
