Question unclear: It is evident from the symptom pattern that the kid may have either strep A or a viral sore throat & should be seen & tested for it. The fever itself is less important but can be managed with ibuprofen or acetaminophen when the proper time has passed. Ice chips are often comforting for the soreness.
