Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. Your child have symptoms of sore throat and tender cervical nodes which is due to infection leading to strep throat. You should avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages. Take throat lozenges and do warm saline gargles. You should take warm water sip by sip. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin in combination with antiallergic medication Levocetirizine. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get blood and throat swab test done and get it examined. Start treatment after proper prescription. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
