Past treatment history and effectiveness: Tonsillitis.

Doctor's answer:

Children with fever are often accompanied by infectious causes, with common reasons including viruses, bacteria, mycoplasma, and so on. If a child has recurring fever, it is recommended to consider whether the infection has not been properly suppressed. Pay attention to the throat condition, check a blood test to confirm whether it is a viral or bacterial infection, and provide additional anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications. For mild cases, oral medication can be used. If the fever persists after taking oral medication for more than 3 days, it is best to administer intravenous fluids. The baby should rest and drink more water, with a light diet.
