Question

What should I do if my 3-year-old child has tonsillitis and keeps on fevering?

Answer

Fever in children is often caused by infection, with common causes including viruses, bacteria, and mycoplasma. It is recommended to pay attention to the throat condition and perform routine blood tests to confirm the type of infection before administering appropriate anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications. For mild cases, oral medications can be taken. If the fever persists for more than 3 days, it is advisable to consider intravenous fluid therapy. The baby needs to get plenty of rest, drink plenty of water, and eat a light diet. Daily life should be regular, avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, increase exercise to enhance immunity, and prevent recurrence of the disease.
