Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question.
The symptoms you describe are consistent with a throat infection. Viral throat infections do not have to be treated. However, bacterial throat infections do. I recommend consulting with your doctor so the correct differentiation can be made and the appropriate treatment therapy implemented.
