“How are throat infections contracted?”
My son is 8 and he just came down with strep throat. How exactly did he contract this?

Strep throat is a respiratory spread infection - your son inhaled a micro-particle of saliva from someone with a strep throat infection. That is why, when your child was treated, you were told to not let him go back to school till he had been treated with antibiotics for 12-24 hours.
Close contact such as eating or drinking after someone. It is spread from person to person through mouth secretions.
