48 hrs after being on antibiotics. I take it a step further: I throw the original one after 48 hrs, use a new one, which gets tossed away after antibiotics are done. why? Because we had strep back to back to back, 3 times, one year. I am convinced we got it from toothbrushes.

Hi,you are supposed to start using a new toothbrush once you've been on antibiotics for 24 hrs.

My daughter just had strep about a month ago. Her doc said on day 4. Obviously, you've gotten different answers here, so I'd call your child's doctor and verify what s/he wants.
