Patient's question:
Baby is six weeks old. Last night, he suddenly had a low fever of 39 degrees, which kept coming and going. The doctor said his throat was inflamed, and I noticed his tongue was a bit red. The first doctor diagnosed him with an upper respiratory infection, and the second doctor diagnosed him with pharyngitis. His bowel movements are normal and not dry.Past treatment and effectiveness: He was given fever-reducing medication, but the fever returned quickly.
What kind of help is needed:
1. Is there a direct relationship between drinking formula and stomach problems and throat inflammation? Is the throat inflammation caused by the stomach problems?
2. Is this recurring high fever caused by the throat inflammation? Will the fever completely subside only when the inflammation is gone?
3. Children are afraid of stomach problems. If they endure eating, can this eventually change their constitution to make them less prone to stomach problems? Or should they completely avoid foods that cause stomach issues?
Doctor's answer:
Your condition involves a high fever caused by incomplete recovery of body temperature after catching a cold. It may be due to an upper respiratory tract illness. It is recommended to use antibiotics and antiviral medications early. The main medications include Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, Amoxicillin, and fresh vegetables such as spinach, carrots, and tomatoes, which can provide a variety of vitamins and inorganic salts, helping to restore the body's metabolic functions completely.
