When Should You Contact Premier Pediatrics? Sore Throat vs Strep Throat
Not every sore throat requires a visit to the pediatrician. Many sore throats are caused by viruses and improve on their own. However, certain symptoms may indicate strep throat, which is a bacterial infection that requires testing and, if confirmed, antibiotics.
Signs It May Be Strep Throat
Contact Premier Pediatrics if your child has:
A sudden, severe sore throat
Pain when swallowing
Fever
Swollen lymph nodes in the neck
Red or swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches
A sore throat without a cough or runny nose
Signs It Is More Likely a Common Viral Sore Throat
Sore throats accompanied by the following symptoms are often caused by a virus:
Runny nose
Cough
Hoarseness
Pink eye
Call Premier Pediatrics If Your Child Has:
Symptoms that suggest strep throat
A sore throat lasting longer than 48 hours
Swollen glands or a rash
Difficulty swallowing or eating
Fever along with a sore throat
