Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have mild fever, sore throat and rash on face of infant which could be due to streptococcus infection or infection of upper respiratory tract. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid eating spicy and heavy food. Maintain hygiene rinsing with antimicrobial mouth wash. You should take combination of levocetrizine along with amoxicillin for 3-5 days. Milk boiled with a pinch of turmeric taken at bedtime will be helpful for you. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. You should go for blood and sputum test. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. Do warm saline gargles several times a day. You should take paracetamol every 4 hrly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
