Question
A 3-year-old child began to have a fever last night and was diagnosed with tonsillitis and elevated urine indicators today, leading to a 3-day course of intravenous treatment. However, at 2 AM after receiving treatment, the body temperature rose again to 39 degrees, and the fever did not subside even after taking antipyretic medication. How should the current situation be handled, and what should be done when the antipyretic medication has become ineffective?
Answer
The child’s symptoms are primarily due to an acute recurrence of tonsillitis. It is recommended to adopt an aggressive anti-inflammatory and intravenous treatment approach. Typically, the condition improves within 1 to 2 days. It is advised to drink plenty of water and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Treatment can be administered through intravenous injections of penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you good health.
