My 2 and a half year old son has had a sore throat for 4 days and this morning has a temperature of 37.5. What can I do?

To measure a temperature, you can use a thermometer under the arm, in the mouth, or rectally. Sore throat and fever can be symptoms of COVID-19, so it's important to follow public health guidelines and keep the individual at home until symptoms improve. A COVID test may be recommended to confirm the cause of the symptoms. If there is nasal congestion, saline solution can help, otherwise, pain and fever can be managed with Advil or Tylenol.
