Question
A three-year-old eight-month-old boy began to have a fever without any apparent symptoms of a cold on November 18th. By the 19th, his highest body temperature reached 37.5 degrees, showing signs of malaise, which improved by the 19th. His appetite decreased, and he had restless sleep at night. His main symptoms included low-grade fever, headache, especially abdominal pain, without diarrhea and no bowel movement. His tonsils were slightly red, and there was an abnormal circular white area resembling an ulcer at the throat opening, causing pain when drinking. Past treatment response and effects: On the 18th, he took one dose of Quick Cold Relief; starting from the 19th, he began taking Azithromycin.
Answer
A child’s fever may be related to infection or inflammation caused by other reasons. Considering the child’s condition may be associated with pharyngitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory treatment is necessary to control the cause, such as taking Amoxicillin capsules or Mucinex. Additionally, appropriate antipyretic treatment is required, such as using physical cooling methods or medication like Anruike, to keep the body temperature below 38.5 degrees to prevent complications such as seizures. Currently, the child may have pharyngitis. If anti-inflammatory treatment is ineffective, it is recommended to visit a hospital for further examination to ensure the scientific nature of the treatment.
