Question
The child has had intermittent fever for two days due to tonsillitis. Although the child has received intravenous treatment, there is still occasional fever. Parents inquire about the cause of this situation, how long it will take to recover, and whether it is necessary to continue intravenous treatment.
Answer
For tonsillitis, active infection control should be implemented, and antibiotics such as penicillin, ampicillin, or erythromycin can be used. At the same time, drinking plenty of water, strengthening care, supplementing vitamins, and using ibuprofen tablets for fever reduction should be supplemented with physical cooling. Medications like Liushen Wan can be used if necessary. The specific treatment plan should be followed according to the doctor’s advice. In addition, patients should pay attention to regular rest, keeping warm, eating a light diet, ventilation, and drinking plenty of water to prevent the recurrence of the condition.
