Question
The baby suddenly developed a high fever of 39.7 degrees Celsius, with a slightly red throat. After taking antipyretic medication two hours later, the body temperature rose to 37.5 degrees Celsius, and then the fever recurred, with temperatures around 38 degrees Celsius. The parents are asking whether this situation is serious, whether intravenous treatment is needed, and if they should repeat a blood test if the fever persists tomorrow.
Answer
Considering tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo a routine blood test for confirmation. Oral amoxicillin granules, Qingre Qingfei Liangxue oral liquid, and Lianhua Qingwen granules can be taken for treatment, and spicy foods should be avoided. Parents should consult their local physician for detailed advice.
