Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.
I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that your 6 year old is having fever with sore throat and headache. My response to your query is as below.
These symptoms indicate acute upper respiratory tract infection.
This requires treatment by the use of appropriate antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
The microbe causing this can be found out by culture and sensitivity and the antibiotics need to be changed depending on this report.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope this answers your question.
Do write back to me for further questions.
With regards
