What causes strep throat and sinusitis in a 5 year old?
Patient: My daughter is 5 years old..she just got over her strept throat about a week and a half ago..she has a low fever again today and has been very thirsty the last few days..she just doesnt seem to be healthy lately..in fact all three of my children dont seem to be very healthy..my 8 year old boy just had pnumonia the same time my daughter had strept and my 7 year old girl has sinusitis..what is going on? is it the time of year or are my kids just not healthy..worried about my 5 year old though..thank you Doctor: Hello, Welcome to forum. From the history stated it seems to be a viral infection circulating in your house Its very common among children, and usually occurs in many family members at a time. Please give paracetamol in dose as mentioned on the bottle and also sponge the child from top to bottom with normal tap water with every fever spike. Give the child plenty of fluids and rest.
