Question
After the child was prescribed antibiotics for tonsillitis, they still have a high fever at night, with a temperature around 37 degrees Celsius, not exceeding 38 degrees. What could be the reason and what has been the past treatment?
Answer
Based on your description, the child may have acute tonsillitis, with symptoms including throat pain, fever, and discomfort. It is recommended to get plenty of rest, maintain a good environment, drink plenty of water, and consume a lot of vitamin C. Antiviral medications such as ribavirin and pindolol can be taken, and antibiotic treatment should be considered, with commonly used drugs including penicillin, compound sulfamethoxazole, and macrolide antibiotics. Treatment should be proactive, and attention should be paid to any changes in the child’s condition.
