A one-year-old with a fever, diagnosed with a viral infection through blood tests, has red and swollen throat. The child has received a fever-reducing injection and an antiviral drug called adenosine monophosphate. The parents are concerned about the side effects of the medication and wonder if it should continue to be used.
