I was diagnosed with strep 6 days ago..The symptoms keep getting worse and I had to go to the hospital Saturday because I was so dehydrated. They also gave me an IV with antibiotics to get rid of the strep even though I had taken my prescription antibiotics the dr. gave me....but I still can't keep anything down and have been vomiting at least once an hour...It seems like I've tried everything but i've never been this sick in my life...what should I do?

My daughter has been getting a lot of colds recently, as she has just started school. Out of 5 colds since the beginning of September, 3 have turned into ear infections. Is there anything I can do to prevent her from getting them so frequently?
I am also not so comfortable having her on antibiotics so frequently. Any suggestions that are an alternative to antibiotics would also be appreciated.
Thank you for all your answers!

This seems to be a contagious infection. Were the nurses (male or female?) from England or abroad?

If your mother was infected but you didn't have it, you could still be a carrier....does this mean your future partner should be tested? What if he is a carrier? I am not certain I am a carrier, can I get a test? I never had it but my mother did..

Hes been on numerous antibiotics since October for sinus infections and prevention of skin infection for a recent chicken pox out break.

Do any of you know of a homeopathic way of curring an ear infection, or is the normal antibiotic way the only way to get rid of one??

I'm 30 yrs old and have been getting cold sores (herpes) ever since I was 12yrs old and stupidly kissed a girl who was infected. Other than going to the Doctors and getting a prescription of Zovirax what do you find is the best way/remedy that you have to avoid getting cold sores or to keep them from getting bad? I'm american and get a few a winter and hate it. Oddly enough I lived in England for 3 1/2 yrs and only got 1 or 2 and they were way smaller and less noticable there. Weird.
