Question
My nine-month-old baby started showing signs of fever on the afternoon of the day before yesterday. After taking fever-reducing medication and antibiotics, the fever subsided but rose again in the evening, and she began to shake all over shortly after falling asleep, looking scared. I would like to know how serious this condition is and what should be done about it.
Answer
Based on the description, the baby may have acute tonsillitis and is experiencing convulsions due to high fever. It is recommended to take her to the hospital for further examination as soon as possible. Consider using antibiotics to treat the infection, and you can also try traditional therapies such as scraping the skin or physical cooling methods like rubbing alcohol on the body. Ensure adequate hydration and provide her with fluid or light diet. Also, keep her warm.
