My 16 yr old daughter came home with a bad sore throat and a headache 2 nights ago.  Now she also has a severe stiff neck and her throat is just getting more sore.  She had diahhrea this morning and felt like she was going to vomit, although she didnt. She is not running a fever according to our thermometer, but she rarely does, even when she is sick.  Any ideas?
Hi, Thanks for writing in to Chat Doctor. I understand your problem and will try my best to help you out.e kindly consult a physician at the earliest for medications like1. Antibiotics - Tablet amoxicillin 500\u00a0mg thrice a day for 5 days if she is not allergic to it.2. Antihistamines like - Cetirizine 10\u00a0mg once at night for 5 days. Ask her to do salt water gargle/ Betadine mouth gargle. Take plenty of fluids. It seems like a bacterial infection and since she is having neck stiffness it is important to consult a physician to rule out symptoms of meningitis by performing clinical examination. The stiffness in the throat may be also due to enlarged tonsils. Hence kindly visit a doctor at the earliest. Hope this answered your query. Get well soon. Chat Doctor.
