Question
A two-week-old baby is experiencing persistent fever due to tonsillitis, even after taking antipyretics, the temperature briefly drops, but soon rises again. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
For persistent fever caused by tonsillitis, it is recommended that parents take the baby to the hospital for a detailed examination. During the treatment process, anti-inflammatory drugs may be required, and the entire course of treatment should be completed as instructed by the doctor. The recovery process from tonsillitis may be relatively slow, so parents should be patient and actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment plan. At the same time, they should encourage the baby to maintain a positive attitude to enhance their confidence in fighting the disease.
