Patient's question:
The baby has had pharyngitis for nearly two months. They have been taking medicine intermittently, but it hasn't improved. Today, the tonsils have started to inflame, and the cough is very severe. There is phlegm that cannot be coughed up. The temperature was measured at 37.13°C. Please ask: What should be done if the child's recurrent tonsillitis and fever do not subside?Doctor's answer:
Most cases of pediatric tonsillitis are caused by bacterial infections. Controlling the condition requires a process, and it typically takes about a week. The treatment of two days is relatively short, and the condition has not been fully controlled yet, so the fever may fluctuate repeatedly. It is recommended to focus on intravenous drip with anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications while closely monitoring any changes.Actually, having tonsillitis is not something to be afraid of. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as treatment is administered promptly in the early stages, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
