Hello,

Probably your kid is suffering from acute infection in throat. There are many other microorganism which could infect throat other than strep. He is in need of proper medication which may be prescribed by your physician according to the case merit.

General advise and home remedies you may consider:

1. avoid cold food and beverages
2. soft bland and liquid diets are preferred.
3. warm saline (salt) gargles.
4. warm milk mixed with Turmeric powder ( 1 glass + 1/2 to one teaspoon fine turmeric powder)
5. tepid sponging for fever

Next Step: blood counts ant throat swab for microbiological examination
visit an ENT surgeon or pediatrician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
