Hello,

I can understand your concern. It seems that the acid coming into mouth and sore throat with fever are separate health issues and should be treated separately.

For the acid reflux into the mouth, you are correctly giving antacids. However, if the antacids don't help in the situation, she might be suffering from gastroesophageal reflux disease due to damaged valve at the junction of esophagus and stomach and should be treated after consultation with an gastroenterologist.

For the sore throat and fever, it seems that she is suffering from bacterial infection in the tonsils causing tonsillitis and should be treated with antibiotics. She should be given Azithromycin 200 mg (Azee 200) twice a day for 3 days. For fever, she can be given Combiflam syrup 5 ml 3 times in a day. Oral Decongestants and warm salt water gargles will help too.

If the situation is not improved or if gets worse, a physician or ENT specialist should be consulted.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish your daughter feels better soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
