Sore ThroatsIf your child has a sore throat then it is important that they get it checked by

their doctor. Sore throats can be caused by certain types of germs. If this germ is not treated,
it may cause rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever is preventable. Treatment can be as simple as
making sure your child is treated for strep throat with antibiotics taken once a day for 10 days.
