Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what causes a child to have intermittent fever and then break it?Doctor's answer:
In your case, you can first use alcohol to bathe for fever reduction, and then identify the cause of the fever. There are many reasons that can cause fever, the most common being infection, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, etc. Don't rush to take medication.The condition you described is considered pharyngitis, which falls under upper respiratory tract infections. The treatment primarily involves antibiotic therapy. You can consider intravenous medication or use five to seven dried honeysuckle flowers to steep in water for drinking, which is quite effective.
