Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Child Has Sore Throat, Fever, Painful Mouth. Give Amoxicillin?
My four year old son developed a 103 degree fever that went away after two days. During that time he complained of a sore throat . I ve noticed in his mouth and it has been spreading that he has brown spots on the roof of his mouth and inside his cheeks. We took him to a urgent care who prescribed him amoxycilin but he is still in pain. (two days ago) He plays fine and then all of a sudden breaks in to tears that his mouth is hurting. No fever now just the spots in his mouth and a sore throat. No rashes or spots anywhere else on his body. Should I give the amoxycilin more time or get him to a pediatrician?
hello,
welcome to hcm
thanks for the query
cont amoxycillin at least 5 days.
those brown spots may be aphthous ulcers.
apply some local anti-inflammatory ointments on those areas before having food.
give him vit B complex syrup for at least 15 days
hope this information will be helpful to you
take care

you continue with Amoxicilin and complete the course.
Add vitamin B.complex and folic acid syrup to fasten the recovery.
