Suzanne,

I never use antibotics, but Phineas ate some moldy soil while we were
gardening which percipitated (sp) the oral thrush.  He was treated with herbs
and dietary modifications and he cleared up in five days.  I contracted
nipple yeast from him and also used herbs and dietary modifications to treat.
 It took me about 10 days to overcome.

I think you strep connection is very possible as strep was around about that
time.  One of my other boys had strep throat and impetiago was rampant in the
school they attend during that period.

Thanks and keep any new info coming.

Rita
