Strep throat for 4 weeks w treatment?
My daughter was seen in the ER and dx w strep throat & a sinus infection. She was given Zithromax. She took that for the 5 days as prescribed. She felt better. We went to her ped doc for a follow up, he did a rapid strep test because her glands in her neck were still very swollen, she was positive for strep again. She was given a script for Augmentin 400mg twice a day. That was on Monday 03/23, took her back to doc on 03/26 because she was still running a fever of 102.2 so he did bld wrk (CBC was normal) and a urine test was normal and he sent away test for EBV/Mono. He prescribed her Zithromax again to take along with her Augmentin. 2 doses of Zithromax and Augmentin since Monday my daughter is still running a fever of 102 or greater at times. Which I am giving her Motrin for that. She complains of a headache and tummy ache when she has the fever. I am getting really concerned. She is only 5 yrs old. What else do I do or can I ask of the doctor. I told him today that if she has a fever again tomorrow I will be taking her to Children's Hosp to see if they feel she needs IV antibodics. I am just very concerned and don't know where or what else to do?? Any advice?:(
