Patient's question:
The child has tonsillitis. The first day had low fever, and the next three days had high fever. When they went to the hospital, they only received lung-cleaning medicine and no anti-inflammatory medicine. This will need to continue for a long time. Every time the child has a high fever, I give them Xiao Er Cai Gui fever-reducing granules. The child shivers in their hands and feet when taking a nap, like having chills. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The course of tonsillitis is about a week long, and the body temperature usually fluctuates for three or four days. It's important to drink more water, maintain a light diet, and take good care of yourself. It will improve in a couple of days. I suggest you don't get anxious and focus on taking the medication. You can get a blood test to check if the white blood cell count is high, which would indicate a bacterial infection and the need for oral antibiotics. If the baby twitches during naps, it's because they are in a light sleep phase, and there's nothing to worry about. In addition to immediate treatment, patients with tonsillitis should also pay attention to maintaining a positive mood, as a good mood greatly helps in recovery. I hope the above information is helpful to you. Thank you!
