Child with high fever not subsiding

Patient's question:

The child is three and a half years old and went to the hospital for a blood test. The white blood cell count was 15.8, and it was said to be a bacterial infection. The child has a high fever that doesn't go down, and it feels a bit better after taking fever-reducing medicine, but the fever returns after 4-6 hours. The child is taking cephalexin, an anti-inflammatory drug, but it doesn't seem to be working effectively. The throat is also slightly red and swollen. What should we do? It's an emergency!

Doctor's answer:

This description of your condition may be caused by tonsillitis. It is recommended to take anti-inflammatory medication and Qingkailing Granules for treatment. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as cold foods, and eat more fresh vegetables.
