Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

From your description it appears that your daughter is suffering from Pharyngitis.Most of the time this is caused by virus and bacteria.

Is she on inhalers for her asthma ?Sometimes if steroids are given it gets deposited on the throat and causes sore throat.

Since the soreness is going on for several days you should get her examined by the doctor so that few investigations can be done and treatment instituted.

Regards.
Take care.
