Doctor's answer:
A child's fever may be related to infectious or inflammatory conditions. The child's condition is considered to be related to tonsillitis. First, appropriate anti-inflammatory treatment is needed to suppress the disease's cause, such as taking Amoxicillin granules or Mezlocarb. Second, appropriate fever reduction treatment is necessary, such as physical cooling or the use of medications like Anrekang, to keep the body temperature below 38.5 degrees to prevent the recurrence of complications such as convulsions. Currently, the child is considered to have tonsillitis, and if recovery does not occur after anti-inflammatory treatment, it is necessary to undergo a thorough examination at the hospital for scientific diagnosis.
