Hi thanks for using Healthcaremagic
Please consult a doctor and look for throat infection
Routine blood tests has to be done including ASO titre,CRP,ESR
Streptococcal infection can cause these type of problems
Antibiotics has to be initiated
There are some viral fevers which can present like this ..Hence doing a Blood count will give you a clue....
Typhoid fever is another possibility ...
You can do a WIDAL test
usually we do WIDAL test after 7 days of fever....
thank you....
