What Does Pain In The Throat And Cheeks Of A Child Indicate?
My 4 year old son was crying because his cheeks hurt and his throat hurt. It was a sudden onset and then after about 2 hours of painfully crying and screaming, he was instantly fine. He had fevers about a week ago of 101-101.9 controllable with medicine, runny nose, cough, no appetite. He again today had no appetite, diarrhea, and then this random situation. My husband and I have no clue what to make of this????
These symptoms are suggestive of sinusitis. As runny nose, fever and facial pain are usually the result of sinus infection, you need to consult your doctor to prescribe the suitable treatment for your child.
