Help i tested positive the flu and strep on the 1st!!

Since i started feeling sick ive been wearing masks around my family as to not give them step throat but i am on day 9 of 10 of antibiotics and i cant convince myself that im okay to take off the masks 😭 my throat is irritated bc i have have a cough from the flu but the irritation looks similar to before I started the antibiotics for strep which is freaking me out even though my throat doesnt hurt anymore 😭 i like literally cant convince myself that im okay and that throat irritation can happen without it being from strep 🥲

Just keep wearing the masks until you're finished with the antibiotics and then you know the infection isn't in your body anymore. After 10 days you should not be contagious from the flu it'll just be a lingering cough so you'll be fine to take it off x

The mask could be making your throat worse. They are a health hazard themselves
