Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!!
i have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
All the symptoms you have mentioned suggestive of pharyngitis( inflammation of throat). In common language it is called as
sore throat or
strep throat.
You don't need to worry regarding this because it can be cured effectively by timely antibiotic therapy. She can get back to pool shortly!!
I suggest you to consult a general practitioner and get the following things done:-
(1)- Start a short course off antibiotic therapy empirically,
amoxicillin or cephalosporins are effective in this condition.
(2)- You can give her simple analgesics like
ibuprofen or
acetaminophen for fever and pain.
(3)- Do warm saline gargles to ease sore throat. You can also use antiseptic mouth wash.
(4)- Drink plenty of water to rehydrate her.
If symptoms persist despite all these,get a throat swab done to find out the exact pathogen causing the disease.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
Dr.Shinas Hussain
