My one year old has had strep A 6 times starting at 5 months. Five times the symptoms were a rash only. The sixth was strep throat. All cases were treated with antibiotics and cleared up, but I'm concerned that it keeps recurring. The docs around here say that babies this young don't usually get strep and that someone we know could be a carrier. Our immediate family and some close friends have all tested negative for strep. There seem to be as many opinions on the why of this as there are doctors. I'm wondering if we should go to a specialist. Has anyone experienced something similar?
Thanks.
