Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor (ENT) Questions

Strep Throat and Kissing

I was recently diagnosed with strep throat, and have been prescribed a 10 day antibiotic of amoxicillin. I was wondering if I am able to kiss again after a few days of being on the antibiotic and I am no longer contagious, or do I have to wait until the antibiotic is over?

You should not be contagious after taking the antibiotic for several days.
