Question: my daughter has headache, hives and sore throat Has had headache for 2 days and sleeping more
should I take her to the dr
should I take her to the dr
Brief Answer:
yes
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
In a 10 year old with headache and sore throat she would need an exam to make sure that she does not have a condition requiring an antibiotic.
It may be strep throat but if she has a fever then more serious conditions like meningitis need to be ruled out.
it would be best to take her to a doctor today.
In the mean time try to get her to drink fluids because being somewhat dehydrated can cause a headache to be worse.
Let me know if you have further questions.
