I've heard from everyone that I've asked that strep throat is contagious for 24 hours after you start the antibiotics. I've asked the internet, people I know, random students, and my neighbor, they all said that it's contagious for 24 hours after you take the antibiotics! But the doctor said that I can go to school. . . So who's right?
