The most important differential diagnosis for disease that cause fever and sorethroat at the same time are summarized in table below:
Disease/Variable Presentation Causes Imaging finding Treatment
Upper respiratory tract infection _ Symptomatic therapy:
Peritonsillar abscess[1][2][3][4][5][2][3][6][7][8][9] On ultrasound peritonsillar abscess appears as focal irregularly marginated hypoechoic area. Ampicillin-sulbactam, Clindamycin, Vancomycin or Linezolid
Croup Steeple sign on neck X-ray Dexamethasone and nebulised epinephrine
Epiglottitis[10][11] Thumbprint sign on neck x-ray Airway maintenance, parenteral Cefotaxime or Ceftriaxone in combination with Vancomycin. Adjuvant therapy includes corticosteroids and racemic Epinephrine.
Pharyngitis

streptococcus

_ Antimicrobial therapy mainly penicillin-based and analgesics.
Tonsilitis [12][13][14][15] Intraoral or transcutaneous USG may show an abscess making CT scan unnecessary. Primarily affects children

between 5 and 15 years old.

Sinusitis[16][17] On CT scan, a mass impinging on the posterior pharyngeal wall with rim enhancement is seen Supportive therapy is the mainstay of treatment for both cases of acute and chronic rhinosinusitis. Antibioticsc(macrolides, penicillins, clavulonic acid- amoxicillin)an be added in select cases of acute, as well as chronicrhinosinusitis.
