Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat, Swollen Glands Along With Fever
My 13 year old nephew has had a sore throat, swollen glands, and a fever of 101 degrees. Today he has a temp of 96 degrees? Is that a problem? Thanks so much! P.S. He s had Kowasaki s disease in the past! Thanks. Laura. YYYY@YYYY
Hi...by what you quote it seems to be a pharyngitis either viral or bacterial. I suggest you take a streptococcal rapid antigen test and if it is negative you can be rest assured. I don't think the past Kawasaki disease is related to this. If the kid is active and otherwise normal, temperature of 96F is not to be worried about. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
