 due to being 7 months it shouldn;t harm your baby at all but maybe talk to your midwife about it? x

 At 28 weeks, you are beyond the sensitive period. So your baby should be safe, BUT it is important that you go to a health care provider if you suspect strep, because strep throat infections can lead to rheumatic fever and kidney disease if left untreated.
So go see your doctor even if you hate him. He's there to HELP you. If he doesn't ask for another.

 If you're pregnant, give your doctor a call and ask him/her or the nurse practitioner this question. If you don't have a doctor, you can find one by going to plannedparenthood.org.
Don't take medical advice from strangers on the internet; this is not a sensible way to take care of your baby. See your doctor about that fever and get diagnosed properly.
Take care.
