What Causes Fever And Sore Throat In A Child?

My 18 month old daughter is running a slight fever @ 100degrees, is developing a sore throat, and her breathing is accompanied by a loud, low wheezing sound. A child in her class developed strep throat earlier in the week and we are wondering if this is strep or another condition and at what point we should take her to a doctor. Her cough is very loud, dry, and deep without mucus.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Although difficult to comment without examination of your baby it seems like your baby is suffering from laryngitis with stridor , or throat infection with significant obstruction , in both case you need an urgent consultation to rule out any serious issue , and to get a prescription .

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.

Wishing your baby good health.
