My otherwise healthy son (4yrs old) woke up this morning with strong belly pains. He says it hurts when I touch his belly. His fever was normal 2 hours ago and now is 101.4. He says his throat hurts a little. He s not interested in eating and is sleeping a lot. Could this be strep throat? Just a bug (virus)? Or something more serious?
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of fever and sore throat which is due to upper respiratory tract infection and inflammation of tonsils. It seems to be due to infection by strep bacteria. Need not worry. 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.  Chat Doctor.  Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
