A member asked:

Have a child aged 4 years. he has a fever just under a 101 with heavy breathing and a sore throat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Strep?: Have the child tested for strep throat, and treated if this present. This is probably a virus which he will recover from quickly, but untreated strep places him at risk of post-streptococcal rheumatic fever.
