I just got over a bout with strep. 2nd time in my life I've had it - like TorqueDog, it was pretty obvious that something was going on when it felt like Edward Scissorhands had taken up residence. At 7, it's not like the kid wasn't verbal - at least, I don't believe I read anything that said he was non-verbal for any reason (autism, etc). He would have been able to verbalize that his throat was hurting like hell's fury. And what is up with the grandfather calling it a 'rare infection?' Strep isn't that rare. Seems like some years are worse for it than others but it's not rare.

Slightly odd that he had no doctor visits. Not even the typical well-baby visits or yearly checkups.
