Sore throat, neck itchy?

Question

My 4 year old has a sore throat and a fever, so I have an appointment with the doctor for this afternoon.

But I'm curious if anyone had ever heard this symptom. She says her neck itches on the outside. I don't see a rash. Like I said, we're going to the doctor this afternoon, I was just curious. Her tonsils are really red and swollen.

Thanks!

Answer 1

I'm not sure, but i don't really think they have anything to do with each other...

Answer 2

children sometimes can't describe pain as adults, so the itching is either pain or its really itching from the inside but ur son couldn't translate the symptoms...

its probably a viral infection that needs no treatment other than a fever medicine such as acetaminophen (panadol)...

but i f the doctor diagnosed the condition as bacterial infection and the infection repeated more than 4 times a year then his tonsils should be surgically removed to prevent serious complications such as rheumatic fever...

hope he get well soon

Answer 3

probley infection of sorts

Answer 4

it might be an infection, also if its her tonsils she will maybe have to get them removed if it gets serious... hope this helps...

Answer 5

try to give your 4 year old son/daughter a vitamin C

Answer 6

allergic reaction? benadryl give her a smalllllll amount and check with her in 30 mins about the itching if it starts to go away or be less itchy its probably a minor allergy

Answer 7
