Patient's question:
It has already started at 37.3 degrees. Without paying attention, it went down, but by the afternoon, the fever rose to 38.5 degrees. I applied a fever reducer patch. At night, the fever went up and down. By morning, it suddenly spiked to 39 degrees, but by the time I got to the hospital, it had dropped to 37 degrees. After taking medicine at home, four hours later it was back at 38.4 degrees, and the fever wouldn’t go down.Previous Treatment and Effectiveness:
The doctor said it was due to shock. Besides tonsillitis, they did acupuncture, prescribed Children’s Baicao Pills and Shanzhaye Granules, and gave an injection.
