Recurring fever in children due to bacterial infection - what medication to take?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

There are many causes of fever, which can be a cold or tonsillitis; it could also be serious illnesses such as pneumonia, enteritis, measles, and meningitis. Antipyretic drugs can only alleviate symptoms and have no antibacterial or antiviral effects. Therefore, the cause should be identified before using antipyretic drugs to avoid affecting the diagnosis.
