Have Sore Jaw And Swollen Throat. Blood Test Normal. What Could Be Causing This?

In un-immunised kids this description surely is like mumps and at times diphtheria…
Though both are very rare… occasionally there may be an accidental contact and single shot may not give hundred percent protection…
Treatment is often supportive with painkillers and will take up to ten days till complete resolution.
If at all these are nodes… throat or ear is likely to be inflamed and red…I insist an Head and neck surgeon consult. That will be fruitful making a perfect diagnosis. It requires special skills to identify the lymph node swelling. If it is lymph node infection swelling it takes a week or 10 days more to subside. However a lot can be told after an exact diagnosis.
Blocked duct need not cause pathology on both sides…
All the above possibilities, treatment is same except if it were mono… the said antibiotic would not have been needed. The antibiotic should be continued.
She is doing right by staying away from kids. I appreciate that. She needs to be away till the time the diagnosis is made and complete treated.
Thanks… write back if any further query.
