What should I do if my child has a low fever of 37.2 degrees Celsius?

Patient's question:

What should I do if my child has a low fever of 37.12°C for 12 days? They have been on intravenous fluids for 4 days and it's still the same. Blood tests have been done and chest X-rays taken, but there's nothing wrong. It's just tonsillitis, but after 4 days of penicillin and Yanhuaning, it's still 37.12°C. Their face is always red.

Doctor's answer:

Acute and chronic tonsillitis can lead to various different complications. Local complications include acute otitis media, rhinitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, cervical lymphadenitis, peritonsillar abscess, etc. Systemic complications are common, such as rheumatism, acute glomerulonephritis, sepsis, arthritis, skin disorders (such as psoriasis), myocarditis, bronchial asthma, etc. Wishing the child a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
