The symptoms you mention in query usually occur in babies due to low immunity , there is nothing to panic . Your child is suffering bacterial infection ( probably strep throat ). Your baby will going to be alright . Your doctor has given right medication , continue medicine and complete the course . Give your child good diet and nutritional supplements to boost the immunity . Also keep your baby hydrate by give lots of fluids like water and juice . If condition doesn't improve in 5 days then again consult pediatrician for proper examination.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
