Is this going around?

Hi! My husband has had a sore throat for five days and nothing helps it. I looked at his throat and it isn't red. Odd. Our daughter caught a cold that developed into an ear infection. This was three weeks ago. She still has a lot of "goo" in her chest that you can hear when she coughs.

It just seems like this stuff is hanging on for a long time. Just wondering if others have heard of this stuff going around. Thanks!

My husband had symptoms of a cold Friday, come sunday he had lowgrade fever. Hewent to the doctor today, turns out he is positive for Strep. Took son to the doctor for throat feeling funny and he is also positive for strep. Both on antiboitics.

I'd get it checked to rule out strep. There is a form that doesn't have the usual symptoms. My son had a scratchy throat (not red) that went away. Then he got headaches real bad. I took him in and they tested for strep and it was positive even though his throat wasn't inflamed. I've had strep of the blood. Only symptom was a fever that wouldn't go away.
