Recurrent Sore Throat, No Inflammation, Fever, Pain On Swallowing. What Is The Cause Of Recurrence?
My daughter has recurrent sore throat not inflammed but its red. When she feels that her throat is painful upon swallowing she will also have a low grade fever . this time it lasted for 2 1/2 days with just salt and water gargle. Whats bothering me is she always complaint of throat pain evry 3 weeks.dont know what causes it.
As you have mentioned it seems that she is suffering from chronic pharyngitis or tonsillitis. When there is inadequate treatment of acute condition it becomes chronic one. Most common cuase for this condition is bacterial infection. So she needs proper ENT checkup along with some blood tests for bacterial infection like CBC and ASO titre, if required culture of throat wall etc. If it is chronic pharyngitis then she will need prolonged antibiotic course.
So I would suggest you to consult an ENT specialist for proper clinical evaluation, diagnosis and for management. Don't ignore because all these throat infections may complicate into some kidney and heart problems.
I hope this answers your query effectively.
