What Causes Soreness In Throat Of A Child?

My 7 yr old started complaining about her throat being sore on Sunday. Monday she wasn't feeling well I thought it was her allergies. Her dermatologist gave her a script. On Wednesday she woke up complaining about her throat being sore on one side and she had a fever at. 100.4. I took her to primary care who said it's probably a virus she'd should start coughing in a few days. It's something going around. Well she has 103.4 fever. At 830 she received the wrong amount of motrin and I gave her the difference about an hour ago. Should I take her to the er. What should I do

Hi,
From history it seems that this can be viral infection but seeing the throat soreness a bacterial infection should be ruled out.
She might require one antibiotic medicine course like Azithromicin for 3-5 days.
Ask her to do warm water slat gargles.
Avoid giving cold drinks, junk food.
Ok and take care.
