Hi my 7year old daughter has been complaining of an up set stomach..than she said stomach acid came into her mouth so ive been giving her antacids...but today she complained again but now she has a sore throat and a fever? and ideas what this could be?
Hello, I can understand your concern. It seems that the acid coming into mouth and sore throat with fever are separate health issues and should be treated separately. For the acid reflux into the mouth, you are correctly giving antacids. However, if the antacids don't help in the situation, she might be suffering from gastroesophageal reflux disease due to damaged valve at the junction of esophagus and stomach and should be treated after consultation with a gastroenterologist. For the sore throat and fever, it seems that she is suffering from bacterial infection in the tonsils causing tonsillitis and should be treated with antibiotics. She should be given Azithromycin 200 mg (AEE 200) twice a day for 3 days. For fever, she can be given Coquitlam syrup 5 ml 3 times in a day. Oral Decongestants and warm salt water gargles will help too. If the situation is not improved or if it gets worse, a physician or ENT specialist should be consulted. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish your daughter feels better soon. Best,
