Question
An eleven-month-old baby had a tonsillitis injection, and there was no fever for two days in between, but suddenly they started running a fever again today. What should I do?
Answer
The situation you described suggests that the symptoms of your child’s tonsillitis have been somewhat reduced after receiving an injection of antibiotics, but the illness has recurred. This may be due to a short duration of antibiotic use, which did not completely suppress the infection. It is recommended to focus on using antibiotics in conjunction with fever-reducing and symptomatic treatment. Strep throat can cause significant disruption to patients, so once you notice symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to dietary issues. A light diet based on light (of food, not greasy or strongly flavored) food is advisable, hoping that patients with tonsillitis can receive professional treatment.
