A member asked:

My daughter is 4 years. she has a fever of 39.2 and with 7.5ml calpol and 2.5ml nurofen, the fever hasn't dropped. she has a headache and says her throat is sore. is tired. should i be concerned and seek immediate care?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A visit to her Dr.: New throat pain with fever can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (Tamiflu sometimes used, if diagnosed early enough), or from some other causes. Usually, a person sees her pediatrician if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check to see if antibiotics or Tamiflu are needed).
