My 9 year old has had an unbreakable fever above 39 for 3 days, just getting worse instead of better. red throat with pustules, runny nose and cough ?

Recommend evaluation: Runny nose and cough are suggestive of influenza or other viral illness, but with the red throat, it is important to evaluate for strep throat or other infection that may require intervention. Best wishes.

Time for visit: The mouth/throat is the main entry point in people for germs that cause illness. The throat findings you cite are not specific to a particular illness, but could be a simple strep throat , flu, mono or something else. There could also be any number of other things causing the fever. By 3 days in to a sustained fever it is likely to be something that requires prescribed medication.Time for a visit
