Patient's question:
The baby is 18 years and 2 months old. On January 21, 29, they underwent tonsil and adenoid surgery. On the day of the surgery and until the 24th, they experienced sudden high fevers every night, ranging between almost 39°C and 41°C. During this period, the doctor administered continuous and intravenous drips (anti-inflammatory medications) during the day.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby, who is 4 years old, had a fever of 39 to 41 degrees for three days after tonsil and adenoid surgery. After using a nebulizer, anti-inflammatory drugs, and fever-reducing medication, the effect was poor. A thorough examination revealed lung infection and pneumonia. The baby is now being treated in the otolaryngology department. My suggestion is that in your baby's case, it is likely that the lung infection and pneumonia were caused by the surgery. If you feel that the treatment effect is not good in the otolaryngology department, it may be better to transfer to the pediatric internal medicine department for treatment.
