I have been diagnosed with strep throat and now on antibiotics for 3 days, im starting to eel much better, however this has been the sickest Ive ever been with strep. My question is how long is the time period before we know if my other half and/or grandchildern should show signs of coming down with it and when will they be safe in knowing they are free of catching it. And yes we were together when feeling my worst and sweaty (thought it was just the 100 degree weather) and shared XOXOs.  Thank You So Much,  Janel
Hello, As per your clinical history is concerned after taking antibiotics for 48 hours, you are no longer contagious at all. The time of exposed to bacteria and infection is three to five days. So your family members who are with you may show signs of infection within this time. Do follow lifestyle modifications like this -1) Try to clean your hands. Proper hand cleaning is the best way to prevent all kinds of infections. That's why It's important to clean your own hands regularly and to teach your child Chat Doctor. 2) Cover your mouth.
