Patient's question:
At 12:00 AM on December 1st, I had a fever of 39.5°C and took fever-reducing medicine to bring it down. At 4:00 AM, the fever returned, and I took Antiviral Granules and Amoxicillin. During the day, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, where they said my tonsils were enlarged to grade 2. The urine test revealed bacterial and viral double infection, but the doctor said it wasn't caused by a cold. The doctor prescribed medication. After taking the medicine on the 2nd, the fever returned to 39°C at 2:00 AM. On the 3rd, I took another dose, and by 5:00 PM, the temperature was down to 38.5°C. I just took fever-reducing medicine, and my child says they have body aches. Can’t I keep taking fever-reducing medicine like this?Doctor's answer:
To the parent, based on the situation you described, it is likely that the swollen tonsils will be feverish for a few days. It is recommended to closely monitor the temperature changes. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, it is necessary to take fever-reducing medication. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, you can take ibuprofen and use physical cooling methods, such as wiping the forehead, neck, and behind the ears with a towel dipped in lukewarm water. The above are suggestions for this issue. We hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
