Patient's question:
The baby is 18 months old. Since the night before last, they have had a fever. Today, the hospital said it was tonsillitis with pus, and the urine test results were a bit high, so they were given an IV drip, which will last for 3 days. In the morning, after getting the IV started, they had a fever of 39 degrees at 2 PM. They took fever-reducing medicine, but now it's 4 PM and the fever hasn't gone down. What should they do? The fever-reducing medicine they took now seems to be ineffective!Doctor's answer:
Mainly the symptoms are caused by an acute recurrence of tonsillitis. It is recommended to actively treat with anti-inflammatory intravenous fluids for now. Generally, it can improve within 1–2 days. Drink more water and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Intravenous fluids can use penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics for treatment. The above suggestions are for the question "Baby 3 eighteen years old, started fevering last night," and it is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
