Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello dear!.I can understand your condition at the moment.
A detailed history and a physical examination would have helped me more in diagnosing the condition.
Probably she is having upper respiratory tract infection most probably pharyngitis.
I would advise you to get her a complete physical examination done by a pediatrician or else start some good anti pyretic for fever like syp. Paracetamol 120 mg/5ml
5 ml 4-6 hourly(alternate with ibuprofen after 3 hrs interval if fever doesnt settle with one dose of paracetamol).
Start syp. Azithromycin 200 mg/5ml (3 ml once daily for 5 days).
Hope it will help.
Wishing your child good health :-)
