Suggest Treatment For Fever, Body Pain And Swollen Throat
Hi my roommate has a tem of 101.3 and has had that temp all day. she went to the health center on campus and they said that it may be strep, mono, or a viral infection. Her symptoms are...body aches, throat is very red and swollen. I was wondering if we should take her to the hospital or not?
Hi, It seems that she might be having acute follicular tonsillitis or granular pharyngitis. She might require some antibiotic like Azithromicin and anti-inflammatory medicines for 3-5 days. Ask her to do antiseptic water gargles. Avoid cold drinks and junk food. Ok and take care.
