In considering how long strep throat is contagious, it will be an individual decision. If you have visited a Dr. and gotten antibiotics, wait until you have been actually taking the antibiotics for a full 24 hours before you return to work or school. If you are still running a fever or feeling especially bad, you may want to take a little extra time, just in case. http://kidshealth.org/teen/infections/bacterial_viral/strep_throat.

Strep throat can be contagious up to 24 hours after you start the antibiotic. As long as you take your medicine and wash your hands and dont let anyone drink or eat after anyone.
