Yes please. Strep throat is potentially serious so please take her to the pediatrician or to urgent care
Yes. The throat infection may be strep, which is dangerous if untreated for children. YOur doctor can do a throat test to check for strep. *Penelope Hsu, MD, PCC* (e) Penelope@guidingclarity.com (w) www*.drpenelopehsu.com* <http://www.drpenelopehsu.com> (p) 202 262 7750
