Hello,

I had seen your medical presentation and understood your anxiety. Coming to your daughter’s symptom of high grade fever, most common cause of fever is infection.

It could be due to bacterial infection. You can confirm by following investigations:
1. Complete blood picture
2. Serum electrolytes
3. Urine analysis

Coming to treatment part, you can follow the below treatment:
1. Antibiotics
2. Avoid spicy food which intensifies throat redness
3. Plenty of fluids

There is no need to worry but it is better to act as soon as possible. Hope you could understand all the relevant aspects and act accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vamsi Krishna Chittimoju
