Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of persistent fever and swollen lymph nodes which seems to be due to strep throat which is a bacterial infection. It could be due to respiratory tract infection as well. Need not panic about it. I would suggest you to 1) Hot milk with a pinch of turmeric boiled with it at bedtime for 2-3 days as it has antimicrobial action.2) Antibiotics are first line of treatment option in this case. In case of mild fever you can take Cal pol or paracetamol for relief as well as it will relieve throat pain too.3) Sip on lukewarm water and take throat lozenges.4) Avoid spicy and rough food. Take diet rich in soft food.5) Take anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit pediatrician once and get it examined. Maintain oral hygiene. Take proper course of antibiotics. Get blood tests done if required. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
