Hello,
Her current problems of fever or flu like symptoms coupled with sore throat present for past 24 hours suggest a viral infection of throat.
She would require paracetamol for her fever and this should be given as one tablet on SOS basis,whenever required.She may take 4 to 6 tablets a day.
For pain in throat,she may do warm saline gargles.Avoid cold drinks for few days
Hopefully she should be all right in next 3 to 5 days.
Any increase in her problems would require a consultation with her doctor.
She is advised to continue her regular medications.
Thanks
