Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question.
This is a very common problem in this age group. Most of the time it is caused by a virus. These viruses can last 7-10 days before resolving. There is no medicine to make it go away, so the recommendation is for fluids, rest, and fever reducer when needed, until it runs it's course.
However, this can sometimes be due to a bacterial infection (ie: strep throat).This infection requires antibiotic treatment.
I recommend consulting with your doctor so the correct diagnosis can be made and the appropriate treatment plan implemented.
