Question
My child has been running a fever for three days with temperatures between 37.5-38.5 degrees Celsius. The tonsils are a bit red. The child has already taken Xiao Kuaikang, Meilin, Amoxicillin, and Ribavirin granules, but the fever subsided and then recurred. I’m not sure what medication to take next and whether it’s necessary to go to the hospital.
Answer
The current situation may be due to a bacterial infection causing the fever. It is recommended to drink plenty of water, stay warm, and consider taking Lijunsha or receiving injections of Xianfeng or Xiyinping for treatment. It is best to go to the hospital for routine blood tests, a chest X-ray, and a Mycoplasma test to determine the cause of the illness and receive appropriate treatment.
