Patient's question:
My child is a 7-year-old boy. Tonight at 9 PM, he has leg weakness, sore throat, and pain when swallowing. I checked and found that his tonsils are enlarged and he has a high fever of 37.2°C. Child says it hurts. Just now, the child was groaning during his nap. I measured his temperature, which was 37.2°C. He took Qinqiao oral liquid and Amoxicillin Clavulanate. What should I do for a thorough examination?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you mentioned, acute tonsillitis is suspected, and the weakness in the child's legs may be due to a viral infection. Pay attention to whether the child has a headache, runny nose, or nasal congestion. It is recommended to go to the hospital for blood tests, including complete blood count and C-reactive protein, and undergo a thorough examination. Active anti-infection treatment should be administered, and the child should be encouraged to drink plenty of fluids. Take medication actively, and seek medical attention promptly if any discomfort occurs. Do not use medication blindly.
