I have never had strep throat in my life. I'm what the annoyed and envious call a "carrier monkey". When I went to the doctor's office yesterday, for not being able to breathe rightly through the night, I was unsurprised that the nasty gag you with a Q-tip, Strep test came back negative. My doctor however disagreed with my reaction and advised me that I still might have Strep.
Doc: Well the test came back negative.
Me: So I don't have Strep?
Doc: The test states that you don't, but that doesn't mean that you don't have Strep.
Me: *blink
Doc: If the test comes back positive than you definitely have Strep throat. But if it comes back negative, you could still have it.
Me: *blink, blink
Doc: I'm going to prescribe you something to help you fight this off.
Me: Fight off the Strep?
Doc: Yes, it will help with that too.
Me: *blink, stare at him confused.
Doc: You also have ear infections.
Me: In addition to the Strep?
Doc: Well it might be Strep, but we don't know.
Me: *Blink.
