Question
How should I handle my child’s low fever of 37.2°C? The child has been on intravenous fluids for 4 days, but the body temperature remains at 37.2°C. Blood tests and chest X-rays have shown tonsillitis. The child has been taking penicillin and Yanhuang Ning for 4 days, but the fever has not subsided. The cheeks often appear red.
