Would a swab that shows strep not indicate antibiotics?

If you swab a human's orifice, it will grow bacteria.Whether that bacteria is the cause of an infectious pathology is a different question.Are you talking about group A or group B strep?
My 6 year old is sick every other week. I need advice.I need advice! My 6 year old is in kindergarten and has had strep, pink eye, and bronchitis every other week! He's well for a week then gets hit with a new fever, and sick again. I am not sure what to do. Care is the worst around us and we are on a waiting list for a pediatric ENT for possibly getting his adenoids out. Anything I may be missing or what I can do? It breaks me how sick he is all the time and the amount of school he keeps missing.
How are his growth and development? Every child has been getting sick constantly for about 9 months, so probably he is just like every other child. But without any information no one can say.
