Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood the history about your husband taking chemotherapy as well as medicines for nasal infection.
Chemotherapy reduces the body's resistance as such and he is already under both treatments.
Since your grandson was with someone who had the strep throat, I would advise against staying both together.
It may create problems for either of them.
Hence segregation is the best policy at the moments.
