Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of sore throat and fatigue which is due to upper respiratory tract infection and inflammation of tonsils. It seems to be due to infection by strep bacteria. The symptoms of fatigue can also occur due to infection. I would suggest you to take throat lozenges and do warm saline gargles. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin in combination with antiallergic medication Levocetirizine. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get blood and throat swab test done and get it examined. Start treatment after proper prescription. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids. Take diet rich in vitamin and mineral to boost the infection.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
