What should I do if a child has a high fever that doesn't break?

Patient's question:

The child is 3.5 years old and went to the hospital for a blood test. The white blood cell count was 15.8, and it was said to be a bacterial infection. The child has a high fever that doesn't go down, and taking fever-reducing medicine helps a bit, but the fever starts again after 4-6 hours. The child is taking cephalexin, an anti-inflammatory drug, but it's not very effective. The throat is also slightly red and swollen. What should we do? Urgent!

Doctor's answer:

This description of your condition may be caused by tonsillitis. It is recommended to take anti-inflammatory medication and Qingkailing granules for treatment. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as cold foods, and eat more fresh vegetables. Children have weaker immune systems, so they are prone to pediatric general surgery issues. For parents, don't be anxious and should take the child to a professional hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. Also, pay attention to regular check-ups for the child and take medication according to the doctor's guidance.
