Strep throat?

Hi all! My kids just had an exposure to strep throat (we hosted a sleepover with their cousins and the cousins came down with strep throat today). So far no symptoms on our side, although now I'm super nervous. It looks like the incubation time is 2-4 days and regular treatment is with antibiotics.

Does anyone have guidance on prevention after exposure? The normal route seems to be just a wait and see approach, but I prefer to be proactive if there's anything I can do to prevent it from digging in. Since it is a bacteria that targets the throat, I was thinking perhaps gargles with mouthwash? I'm not quite sure!

Thanks in advance 😊
