Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of high fever which seems to be due to strep throat which is a bacterial infection. It could be due to poor and compromised immunity of body. Need not panic about it. I would suggest you to 1) Avoid giving child spicy and rough food. Take diet rich in soft food.2) Sip on lukewarm water and take throat lozenges.3) In case of fever you can take Cal pol or paracetamol for relief as well as it will relieve throat pain too.4) Hot milk with a pinch of turmeric boiled with it at bedtime for 2-3 days as it has antimicrobial action. 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,
