Most general internal medicine practices are ill equipped to deal with strep c, that is if they even culture for it properly, as a good culture for a or b has a high likelihood of a false negative for c. C will not exhibit normal strep symptoms, but it will creep up the Eustachian tubes and make sneezing very painful. So if you are getting no where, get to a larger hospital's infectious disease dept.
To kill it in me, it took a penicillin injection in the rump, and oral rifampin.
if you are in the DC metro area, go to Georgetown Hospital, as their infectious disease dept was the only one to successfully kill it.
