Hello,
As per your clinical history, is concerned please follow like this-
1) Do a clinical examination by your doctor [ENT] and do a throat culture and discuss with your doctor about specific antibiotics.
2) Do gargle throat in warm saline three times a day.
Do follow lifestyle modification like this -
1) Try to clean your hands. Proper hand cleaning is the best way to prevent all kinds of infections. That's why it's important to clean your own hands regularly and to teach your children how to clean their hands properly, using soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
2) Teach your children to cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze.
3) If you or your child does have strep throat, don't share drinking glasses or eating utensils. Wash those items carefully in hot, soapy water or in a dishwasher.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
