Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat And Fever
my daughter has been sick with a very sore throat for 9 days now. So far, she has been on amoxocillian and that is not working. Strep results and mono tests came back negative a week ago, but she is no better. with nausae, fever, very tired all the time and no appetite. I don't know what to do anymore. She has already missed a week of school

hello
i have read your query.i think its a viral infection.Infections caused by viruses can not be treated with antibiotics. The body will clear out the virus on its own mostly without treatment.most symptoms caused by a cold-type virus start improving after several days and are gone in a week to 10 days.
for fever give paracetamol
gargle with warm salt water
drink warm liquids - honey or lemon is a common way of providing relief
you can wait for 1-2 days.the symptoms ll subside
don worry and take care
Hope this ans helps
Regards
Dr. Shesh
