How long is strep throat contagious after being on antibiotics?

Hi Strep throat is treated with antibiotics. Penicillin is the preferred medication. Oral penicillin must be taken for 10-days. Patients need to take the entire amount of antibiotic prescribed and not discontinue taking the medication when they feel better. Stopping the antibiotic early can lead to a return of the strep infection. Take a look here http://www.lifesteps.
