Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com
This is Dr. Swarnava dattagupta answering your query.
I understand your concern.
From the history, it seems like your daughter has got throat infection leading to the symptoms and enlarged lymph nodes. The cause can be various, among which bacterial cause is the most common. The high WBC count points to the same too. The presentation might vary in all cases of throat infection , hence other causes of sore throat have to be ruled out too. When patients present to me with such symptoms, I generally advise the following-
Avoid cold or chilled food and beverage.
Warm saline water gargling four times a day.
Antibiotics like coamoxyclav for 5 days.
Proper mouth care.
Antiallergics like fexofenadine or levocetrizine if there is much sneezing, running nose etc.
A throat swab for culture sensitivity.
Complete blood count.
You can consult the above with your family or treating doctor and get these prescribed.
You can get back to me with the reports; also an ENT specialist might be consulted.
Hope i have answered your question.
If you have any further questions i will be happy to help.
Regards.


Thank you.
Follow as advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
I guess she should give a thorough history of her problem so that it becomes easy for her doctor to get an initial idea. Afterwards, after clinical examination, he/she will be able to come to a diagnosis and will give treatment accordingly.
Dont worry.
Apart from the culture, she might ask about the restrictions she has to follow. The medicine part will be taken care of by the doctor.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
