Suggest Treatment For Strep Throat And Fever In 103 Range
My 5 year old daughter strated burning a high fever (102-103) on Wednesday night. Thursday morning I took her to her pediatrician where she was diagnosed as having strep throat. He prescribed her Keflex and she has since had five doses of it. She is still burning fever in the 103 range and very fatigued, doesn t want to eat, has no energy, and is very whiny. As it is Saturday, I can not take her to her pediatrician until Monday. I am very worried because I have always heard that a fever lasting three days is not good. Should I take her to the ER or wait and see what happens by Monday?
