Suggest Remedy For Fever And Sore Troat
Hi, my 10 yr old daughter came home from playing today complaining of a headache and sore neck. She felt warm, had a fever of 103.7. Said she didn t think she did anything to injure her neck. I gave her some childrens ibuprophen and within an hour she was feeling better and temp is hovering around 100-101. Said she was not feeling sick. Is there anything serious to worry about?

Hello. I just read through your question.
If the symptoms resolve with 2-3 days, there is no reason to be concerned.. If they persist beyond then, it is possible she has a bacterial infection (ie. Strep throat). This can be easily treated. If the symptoms do not resolve, I recommend consulting with your doctor so the correct diagnosis can be made and the appropriate treatment plan implemented.
