Question
My child is over 2 years old and has had a fever for 5 days now, with the fever coming and going. We went to the hospital yesterday for blood tests, and they said it’s a typical case of measles and tonsillitis, caused by bacterial infection, along with a bit of influenza. How should we handle this?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby may have been infected with the influenza virus, accompanied by measles and tonsillitis. The child has been running a fever for five days, and the blood test results show a positive influenza virus, along with signs of bacterial infection. The medication prescribed should contain ingredients that are effective against both bacteria and viruses. It is recommended to first take oral medication to observe the therapeutic effect. If there is no improvement, hospitalization may be necessary to accelerate the child’s recovery.
