Symptoms of strep throat usually occur one to three days after being infected. Strep throat is spread through large respiratory droplets (coughing, sneezing) or direct contact with people who are ill. It is rarely spread by touching surfaces or objects.

No, During the time you have strep throat, you need to be quiet and rest. You need to go to the doctor to prescribe a antibiotic therapy or for kids, a pink medicine that I don't know the name of.

Strep throat bacteria - how long does it live?
Most people with strep are contagious until they have been on antibiotics 24 - 48 hours. They should stay home from school, daycare, or work until they have been on antibiotics for at least a day. Get a new toothbrush after you are no longer contagious, but before finishing the antibiotics. Otherwise the bacteria can live in the toothbrush and re-infect you when the antibiotics are done. Also, keep your family's toothbrushes and utensils separate, unless they have been washed. If repeated cases of strep still occur in a family, you might check to see if someone is a strep carrier. Carriers have strep in their throats, but the bacteria do not make them sick. Sometimes, treating them can prevent others from getting strep throat.
