Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat And Fever In A Child
yes, my 2 year old son has a sore throat his pediatrician said to wait a couple of days if the fever subsides, if it continues to give him antibiotics. Today is the 3rd day and his fever has lowered a little its 38.2 Celcius. Should I start antibiotics?
