Question
My baby has been suffering from a throat infection for several months now, accompanied by persistent cough, difficulty expectorating phlegm, and a fever of 37.13 degrees. What should I do when a child has recurring fever that does not subside due to tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is usually caused by bacterial infections, and controlling the condition requires time. The treatment has only been ongoing for two days, which is still relatively short, and the condition has not been fully controlled, so the fever may recur. It is recommended to focus on intravenous drips to administer anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications while carefully observing any changes in the condition. In reality, tonsillitis is not something to fear; patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. With timely early treatment, there is a high chance of stabilizing the condition and recovery.
