Cynthia said that they didn't do a blood draw or a culture on you. Did they do a rapid strep? Do you or did you have a sore throat? Do you or did you have a fever? What has your temperature been running. The thing is with rapid streps they are 90% reliable. A number of years back Cindy had negative one and then broke out with a lacy body rash a month later. It turned out to be scarlet fever. Amoxicillin will kill it quite readily as well as azithromycin. Boy I wish I was there so I could help.

Don't feel foolish going in again. The army system is designed to just herd you through, but you already know that. They should have drawn blood at a minnimum.....jerks.
