my 10 year old started with what she said to be pain behind her eyes then a fever of 101.66 the next day she woke up with a nose bleed (never had one before) still had the fever and now cant breath with out coughing. we went to the doc he said it is not strep throat
Hi...by what you say, I feel that your kid is going through a viral pharyngitis or a streptococcal infection. I suggest you see your pediatrician and get a rapid streptococcal antigen test done. If it is positive then she will require antibiotics. If it is negative then it might be viral illness and doesn't require antibiotics at all. Regards -
