Question
Why has my child been constantly running a fever recently, and why is he crying and fussing so much? We have already taken him to the hospital for a check-up, but no issues were found.
Answer
Your child’s fever may be due to tonsillitis. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for nebulizer inhalation therapy, and it may be necessary to administer intravenous antibiotics, hormones, antihistamines, and antiviral medications. Additionally, it’s advisable to avoid giving your child spicy, cold, and other irritating foods. If the treatment is not effective, consideration may need to be given to tonsillectomy. Before the fever subsides, it is suggested to use alcohol for sponge baths to help lower the temperature, while further investigating the cause of the fever. There are many causes of fever, with the most common being infection, followed by connective tissue diseases. Do not rush to take medication before the cause is determined.
