Suggest Treatment For Throat Soreness, Fever And Body Ache

my daughter was being treated for strep, though the test did not show it, but for a very sore and red throat with spots, she subsequently developed a fever, had body aches and went to the hospital while out of state. They admitted her because she had an extremely elevated white count and an inflamed liver. She was discharged after fluids and antibiotics, to travel home for follow up. She now has a couple of angry inflamed bumps on her legs, which were said to be suspicious and treated as MRSA. We still do not have an underlying diagnosis, and she is exhausted an feeling poorly. Her blood count is better but not normal. What should we be asking and looking for. We cant seem to get anyone to focus on a diagnosis, just symptomatic treatment that are not cure directed.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.



Most likely your daughter is having staph infection resistant (may be intermediate) to antibiotics prescribed;she has only partially recovered.Any discharge from inflamed lesion in her legs can be sent for culture and sensitivity tests.Otherwise a course of oral Linezolid (if not already given) is an option.All antibiotics are prescription drugs.
