Question
The child has been experiencing repeated episodes of fever. After receiving intravenous fluids at a children’s hospital yesterday, the fever improved. However, the child developed a high fever again in the afternoon today. Please inquire about the possible causes and symptoms.
Answer
The child may have tonsillitis that has not been completely cured, which allows the bacteria to become active again when the body is weak or during fever, leading to recurrent fever. By checking blood routine white blood cells and neutrophils, it can be determined whether antibiotic treatment is needed, and symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be combined with traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxification. It is recommended to eat a light diet, drink plenty of water, and get adequate rest.
