What Does Headache, Fever And Pain In Throat Suggest?

My daughter has a frontal headache and fever of 102. My dad gave her 160 mg of acetaminophen about 6 o'clock. It has not helped her fever. Her neck is not stiff. Her throat hurts a little, but she described it as achy, not scratchy like a traditional sore throat.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understamding your concern. As per your query your daughter is suffering from headache, fever and pain throat which seems to be infection from streotococcal bacteria leading to strep throat. It could be due to viral infection as well. Need not to worry about it. You should visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should start medication after lab tests, blood tests and proper diagnosis. Till then give antobiotic along with Ibuprofen / Acetaminophen. Give anti histamine such as Levocetrizine to her. Avoid use of cold liquid substances. Give her steam inhalation. Use mist humidifiers in her room. Avoid spicy, sharp and oily food. Give diet rich in multivitamins.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
