From the Nurse

CARROLL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISCTRCT HEALTH SERVICES



We have learned that there has been a case of strep throat in your child’s class. Symptoms of strep throat include sore throat and varying degrees of tonsil swelling, with or without white pustules, usually (not always) accompanied by fever and redness.

If your child complains or shows signs of the symptoms, you should contact your family physician.

Children treated for strep throat are generally presumed to be non-contagious 24 hours after antibiotic therapy has begun.
