Doctor's answer:
There are many causes that can lead to a child's fever, including upper respiratory infections, gastroenteritis, tonsillitis, pneumonia, and all kinds of infectious diseases, which may all cause fever symptoms. Based on your description, it is mainly considered to be tonsillitis, primarily caused by catching a cold. If the temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can take fever-reducing medication. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, there is no need to take fever-reducing medication. Feed the baby warm water frequently and pay close attention to observing the baby's overall condition.
