What Causes Recurring Fever And Sore Throat?

My daughter has had two rounds of antibiotics because of fever and sore throat. After each round, about 2 days after the last dose, she developed a sore throat and fever again. Both times the antibiotics relieved her symptoms and she felt fine. We did not put her on another round of antibiotics after this last time and after 2 days of sore throat again, she has been fever free for 5 days and no more sore throat. We took her to the doctor again and they are treating her for mono and we are waiting for the test results to come back. My question is, if she has/had mono, the antibiotics would not have helped her at all would they since mono is viral? She was tested twice for strep, both negative, and she had a mono spot test that was also negative. Thanks

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, looking to the history given here this could be allergic condition and may not be infection, so better to stop giving antibiotic and wait for few days, this may come around, if symptoms not improved then differential diagnosis can be thought and this could be enteric fever, hope this information helps, take care, have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
