What Causes Sore Throat And Pain In The Body With High Fever?

Hello Doctor,
I have been having sore throat since three days accompanied with body pain, high fever (104 F). End of 2 days, fever was under control and now I have very mild fever sometimes. Throat pain symptoms seems to fluctuate though its usually v.bad in the morning (3 rd day -today) and now in night its slightly bothering me. Wondering if this is Viral infection or Strep Throat? Please Advise.

Sore throat and pain in the body with high fever seems because of streptococcal infection leading to strep throat. It is leading to granular pharyngitis. It could be due to poor and compromised immunity of body. Do warm saline gargles on daily basis 3- 4 times a day. You should do tepid sponging to avoid high fever. Eat probiotic food , banana and avoid eating spicy food . Take proper antibiotic course such as Levofloxacin for 5-7 days. Take anti-inflammatory drugs such as Sinarest as well. Visit ENT specialist once and get complete examination done. Go for blood tests and sputum test as well and maintain proper oral hygiene.

Get Well Soon.
