Oh no! Get Well Soon, Keith O.! (Keith Olbermann has Strep Throat)

[Roland99]

Just heard that on NBC's pre-game show from Bob Costas.

1. Just heard that...poor Keith.

Get well soon, KO!

2. That Sucks

:-( Poor Keith. I didn't see him on NBC's pregame and wondered what was up.

Get well soon!

5. ugh, I hate strep throat

I don't get it as much as I did when I was a kid, but when I do, it's extremely bad. I hope Olbermann gets well soon. :(

7. I've had a scratchy throat all weekend but I think it's from allergies.

Strep? ick!

6. I just saw that too - glad to know why he was out

8. Hope he changes out his toothbrush--it can carry the strept

Yep, really. You're supposed to invest in a new toothbrush after you get diagnosed with strept since the germ can live on in your toothbrush and you can get reinfected after you are off the antibiotics. I usually get a new one after I've been on antibiotics for a few days.

9. Good tip

Should I be embarrassed that that never occured to me? :blush:

11. Nah, not at all

Just one of those things I've learned as a nurse..and as a mom of kids who have had strept throughout the years.

10. I got it twice in one year. Nasty, nasty thing, especially as an adult.

Really high fever, and you start wondering if you're dying. I hope he gets on the right meds right away and rests for the three days or so he really needs.
