We are sorry to share that one of our Anaf Bet friends has strep throat. This child was last in school on Monday, February 24. As previously mentioned, we are sharing this with both of our Anaf classes as well as our Gesher class because the children are often together for Havdallah, Kabbalat Shabbat and playground time.
Common symptoms of strep throat include the following:
Throat pain that usually comes on quickly Painful swallowing Red and swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches or streaks of pus Tiny red spots on the area at the back of the roof of the mouth (soft or hard palate) Swollen, tender lymph nodes in your neck Fever Headache Rash Nausea Not all sore throats are strep.The only certain way to diagnose strep is through a throat culture. The incubation period is 1-5 days. Please let us know if any other cases develop and we wish a refuah shlema to our classmate.
