What you need to do...\n     Give the baby a dose of advil and tylenol at the same time...but, cut each of the normal doses in half...for instance, if you give her 3/4 tsp of advil...give her only half.  if you give her 1 tsp of ty. lower it to 1/2 tsp.  This will lower her fever....it is what the ER will do to lower it.  Take her clothes off....let her cover with a sheet.  Watch her for signs of seziure...shaking, eyes rolling back in head, starring into nothingness.  \n     As for the virus...I would definately take her to the dr.  There must be a reason she is the only one getting sick.  I have 5 children under the ages of 8...and when one gets sick....yep....we allllllllll get sick.  Good luck to you.  I know she feels horrible...Hope it is better for you and her soon.

well, if you take penicillin than the chances are very high.  Strep throat will pretty much always be cured unless you have a weakened immune system.

The infection with strep bacteria causes symptoms within 1-3 days. You may develop a red throat with white patches. The tonsils are red and enlarged. There may be specks of pus present on the tonsils, or there may be a grey or white covering on the tonsils. With strep throat, people may also have trouble swallowing and may have tender, swollen lymph glands on the sides of the neck. \n\nCommon signs and symptoms of penicillin allergy include:\n\nRash \nHives \nItchy eyes \nSwollen lips, tongue or face (angioedema) \nTell your doctor if you notice any of the signs or symptoms of penicillin allergy. He or she can determine if you're having an allergic reaction and may prescribe an alternative medication

My daughter had reaction to ampicillin and cannot have any penicillin. You may be sensitive too. Call your doctor.....that's their job!

Yeah, basically it is treated with Penicillin at 250 mg 3 times a day of Keflex at 250 mg 3 times a day.  In other words antibiotics.

What is the treatment for a sore throat caused by bacteria? \nIf your sore throat is caused by Streptococcus, your family doctor will probably prescribe penicillin, taken by mouth for 10 days. Another antibiotic, called erythromycin, can be used if you're allergic to penicillin. If your sore throat is caused by a different bacteria, your doctor may prescribe another type of antibiotic.\n\nWhat is the treatment for a sore throat caused by a virus? \nAntibiotics don't work against viruses. Infections caused by viruses usually just have to run their course. Most symptoms caused by a cold-type virus go away in a week to 10 days.\n\nSymptoms caused by mono can last for 4 weeks or more. If you have mono, your doctor will probably suggest that you get plenty of rest and that you not exercise too hard. You can take acetaminophen (brand name: Tylenol), ibuprofen (brand names: Advil, Motrin, Nuprin) or naproxen (brand name: Aleve) for the headache and other aches.\n\nWhat about a sore throat that's caused by allergies?\nIf a sore throat is a symptom of hay fever or another allergy, your doctor can help you figure out how to avoid the things that trigger your allergies. Or you may need to take medicine for your allergies.

I really hope that you are not serious. Go back to the doc and have him place your son on a generic antibiotic much cheaper.

take them, and try to do it according to the original schedule. you should take the whole course because if you don't, all you do is make the germ, whatever it may be, resistant to the drug you're taking, and when it comes back, you'll have to get something else to cure it. This is why they only give penicillin for strep throat now, everything else has become resistant to it coz of people only taking part of their anitbiotics

If I were you I would go to your local library or on-line and read in the Physicians Desk Reference. It will list everything you want to know, such as dosage, uses, ingredients and adverse reactions. If you do not fully understand go to your local pharmacist. After you have this knowledge go to your pediatrician and have a long conversation. They will not answer your questions until you ask them. Please ask why she needs her teeth pulled at such a young age. If your doctor or pharmacist doesn't take the time you need then find another one.

Unfortunately, there is such thing as reoccurring strep throat. I ended up getting strep throat six times in three months, and in the end had to take a massive shot of penicillin.
