Patient's question:
The baby has had pharyngitis for nearly two months, taking medicine intermittently without improvement. Today, the tonsils have started to inflame, with severe coughing and phlegm that cannot be expelled. The body temperature measured is 37.20 degrees. Please ask: What is wrong with the child's sore throat and illness lasting for half a month?Doctor's answer:
The baby has a fever, and it takes time to develop. It is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a blood test to confirm the diagnosis and provide targeted treatment. Measure the temperature frequently and carefully observe any changes in the baby's body temperature. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees, it is important to give fever-reducing medication, drink more water, and use a warm towel to apply to the head or wipe the body. Pay close attention to the baby's mental state. In addition to medication for tonsillitis, the patient should also pay attention to care, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in more outdoor activities. At the same time, the patient should also pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for treatment to achieve better therapeutic effects.
