Question
Does drinking formula milk cause heat in infants?
Answer
According to the parent’s description, the five-year-old child’s frequent high fever is caused by tonsillitis, and sometimes accompanied by lymphadenopathy. The parent asks whether tonsillitis is related to drinking formula milk. However, considering that the child is already five years old, they should be able to find water to drink on their own, so the possibility of formula milk causing diarrhea and heat is unlikely. The reason for the child frequently suffering from tonsillitis may be related to incomplete treatment of the first recurrence, as the tonsils are part of the body’s autoimmune system. They release immune cells to fight off pathogens when invaders enter, and during this process, immune cells can also be damaged or die, leading to purulent tonsillitis.
