Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
If a baby has a fever and it's due to tonsillitis, it usually takes 3-5 days to recover. If the fever is caused by a cold, it can actually prompt the child to activate their immune system, making them relatively less likely to develop allergic diseases in the future. In other words, it's a blessing in disguise. Don't hurry—use your slightly cooler hands to continuously help lower the child's body temperature. While cold towels can be somewhat effective, they are not as helpful as your hands.
