C.H.
My 2 year old has had strep a handful of times, and the symtpoms in babies and toddlers are not the same as trep in old kids and adults (which is HORRIBLE, I had it once!). Normally there is a fever and they are just miserable. My Ped says they don't really even get a sore throat, it's just a high fever, and sometimes they throw up once or twice (that's how I know mine has strep, if he throws up once for no apparent reason).
It's also not contagious to adults, which is awesome for me, b/c I seem to get everything else.
My son did get the rash once, too. It was really not serious and antibiotics kicked it right away.
