Question
My baby is six weeks old, and last night at midnight, he suddenly had a low-grade fever of 39 degrees Celsius, which kept coming back. The doctor diagnosed it as throat inflammation, and I also noticed that his tongue was a bit red. The first doctor diagnosed it as upper respiratory infection, and the second doctor diagnosed it as pharyngitis. Stool is normal, not dry. Previous treatment and effects: He took fever-reducing medicine, but the fever came back quickly. Needed assistance: 1. Does drinking formula have a direct relationship with bellyache and throat inflammation? Is throat inflammation caused by bellyache? 2. Is this intermittent high fever caused by throat inflammation? Can the fever completely subside only after the inflammation is gone? 3. If a child fears bellyache, can enduring eating eventually change his constitution so that he doesn’t fear bellyache anymore? Or should we completely avoid things that cause bellyache?
Answer
Your situation may be due to a high fever caused by a body temperature not fully recovering after catching a cold. It could be caused by an upper respiratory disease, so it is recommended to use antibiotics and antiviral drugs for treatment early on. Main drugs include Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid, Amoxicillin, fresh vegetables such as green vegetables, carrots, and tomatoes, which can supply various vitamins and inorganic salts to help the body’s complete recovery of metabolic functions.
