Answer

Hello r. sezer!

An irritated throat will have quite a bit of redness and may appear to be swollen. You can purchase medications and throat drops and sprays at your local convenience store to ease the irritation. However, Strep Throat is common among children so you will want to look for these signs:
  • red and white patches in the throat
  • difficulty swallowing
  • tender or swollen glands (lymph nodes) in the neck
  • red and enlarged tonsils
  • headache
  • lower stomach pain
  • fever
  • general discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling
  • loss of appetite and nausea
  • rash
If your child shows signs of strep, your child needs to be on antibiotics.

Hope this helps!
