Does Streptococcus Infection Cause Puffy Eyes In Children?

Can Strep cause puffy eyes on children? My 5 years daughter was diagnosed with Strep infection and has been taking antibiotics for 2 days but today she woke up with really, really puffy eyes....not red, just very swollen and puffy. She is in good spirits, eating well, just wakes up like she has been boxing all night...It is scaring us and we are about to take her to the Children Hospital since she looks so bad. Thanks!

Hi
This wouldn't be related to the strep but she may be having an allergic reaction to the antibiotics so she needs to see a doctor
