Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Eye Infection And Sore Throat
my daughter is 20 years old and has had been to a doctor twice with eye infection and a soar throat she said the soar throat went away for a week but is back now and she said her throat feels like it is bruised. and it looks discolored she was tested for strep and they said it was negative.
Because the test for strep infection came out negative it is very likely your daughter might be having viral infections. Sometimes after going through a viral infection, patients might get a different one in a few days and have similar symptoms. Upper respiratory infection may cause both sore throat and eye redness which generally go away within a week. Meanwhile you can get some pain killers to help with the pain, use personal towels when your eyes are red and watery (do not share towels), drink plenty and try to rest as possible.
If your symptoms last longer than a week you will need to see your doctor again.
I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
