Hello. I just read through your question.
These are very common complaints in this age group. This could be a simple passing viral illness. In this case, fluids, rest, and time are all that are needed.
However, this could also be a sign of a Strep throat infection. in this case, antibiotic treatment is needed to resolve the illness.
i recommend consulting with your doctor so the correct diagnosis can be made and the appropriate treatment plan implemeted.
