Go to the doctor, get a strep test and if positive they will prescribe antibiotics

This infection is easily treated with antibiotics, usually penicillin or amoxicillin (which are now usually prescribed just twice a day). Your child will no longer be contagious after being on an antibiotic for twenty four hours. It is important to take a complete course of antibiotics to prevent your child from getting rheumatic fever.

You need to have a strep test done by a Doctor and get him on antibiotics if he has it. It is contagious.

When I use to get it, the doctor gives you a shot.
