    Strep Throat 4 times in 5 months
    My almost 6 year old daughter has had Strep 4 times since September. Her Pediatrician sees no need yet to even visit the ENT let alone talk about Tonsils. Any help here would be great. She has missed so much school and is sick to tears of having a sore throat.
