What Causes Persistent Fever, Nausea And Loose Stool When Diagnosed With Strep Infection?

My daughter was diagnosed with strep 3 days ago and has been on meds. She is 23. Her tonsils are huge with white patches, almost swollen shut. I’ve never seen anything like it. Still having fever. Upset stomach. Vomited this morning. Went back to the doc today. They gave 2 more shots and topical cream for nausea. Problem. Her gums are bright red and bleeding and painful.

Hi,
I am sorry to know about yor daughter and understand your concern.
Streptococcal throat infection is sometimes difficult to treat.
In the same type of condition I'd have prescribed azithromycin 500 once daily for 3 - 6 days.
Please ask her to do warm saline gargles 3 - 4 times daily which will help her extremely.
Do not give her spicy food.
Ask her to drink warm water only.
So far as nausea is concerned,you can give her a mouth dissolving ondencetron tablet in the morning.
Vitamin C 500 once daily for 5-7 days will help in gum bleeding.
I hope the answer helps.
Please feel free to ask another question.
Thanks,
Dr.Verma
