Patient's question:
My child is 5 years old and always has a fever. He doesn't cough. His tonsils are not inflamed either. He doesn't have a runny nose. The fever is always between 37.5-38.6 degrees. After taking ibuprofen, the fever goes away but then comes back. It lasts for four or five days in a row. The same thing happened about a week ago, and it always doesn't get better.Doctor's answer:
Hello, tonsillitis is generally caused by streptococcal infection, which can lead to serious complications such as rheumatic fever, arthritis, and nephritis, so it needs to be treated promptly. In general, streptococcal infection is still effective against penicillin, so it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment with penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics.There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory system issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and maintain a balanced diet.
