My daughter had a fever 2 nights ago with a sore throat. The fever is gone but she says her neck is sore, has a headache but no more sore throat but has some flem in the back of her throat. Treating with tylenol n she has been putting ice on her neck. Anything else we should be doing or concerned about?

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
I have gone through your clinical history and it is a common problem in pediatric age group.I see many similar cases in my clinical practice.
She is most probably having pharyngitis( inflammation of throat),If a kid with similar symptom comes to my clinic I would prescribe simple analgesics like paracetamol or acetaminophen (Tylenol is a brand name of acetaminophen) for fever and pain.I would also start a short course of antibiotics like amoxicillin dose of which depend on weight of the child.Warm saline gargles could provide symptomatic relief.
Since the antibiotic dose has to be calculated according to the weight of the child I suggest you to consult your family doctor.
If you have any further queries feel free to contact.
Regards
