How To Treat Fever With 102 Temperature?

My 4 year old has strep throat. We started amoxicillin this morning. He has had 3 doses today. I just checked on him and his temp was 105. I used a temple thermometer that slides from forehead to ear. Gave ibuprofen and cold water, temp izs down to 102. Do I need to take him into urgent care.

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you child have symptoms of strep throat and fever which could be due to bacterial infection of the upper respiratory tract. It seems to be due to poor immunity of body.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you start with warm saline gargles and betadine gargles.You should consult ENT specialist once for proper diagnosis and rule out a condition like a viral infection. The doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with decongestants and anti-inflammatory. Avoid hot, sharp, spicy food substances and carbonated beverages. Give child proper rest.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
