Question
Four days ago, I went to the hospital, where the doctor diagnosed me with fever due to a viral infection and acute tonsillitis. He prescribed Qingkailing Oral Liquid and Lan Qin Oral Liquid. However, I still have a high fever that doesn’t seem to go away, and I’m in a lot of pain, not knowing what to do.
Answer
Your fever may be caused by a viral infection, which typically responds more slowly to antiviral treatments. If your fever exceeds 39 degrees, it is recommended that you undergo another blood routine test to see if there is an increase in white blood cells. In terms of medication, in addition to the antiviral drugs you are currently taking, you can add symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications like Paracetamol to help control your fever symptoms. Moreover, the effects of traditional Chinese medicine may require a higher dosage to be noticeable, so make sure you are using an adequate amount.
