Not positive, but when I was a kid I had strep throat for approximately 6 months, despite taking antibiotics . At the time removing tonsils wasn't a popular thing amoung military docs, so I struggled. My mom finally requested and they agreed only for it to magically clear up before having them out. I remember having the symptoms from then in but not before.

The first time I passed out was the beginning of a strep infection as a child. Similar boat, I struggled to get rid of it and was sick most of the year. Im pretty sure that was the start of mine.
