How to deal with fever in infants and young children

Patient's question:

5 big ones started to have a fever, now it has been 6 and a half months. Every day from 5 to 6 PM, the temperature is between 38.5 and 38.8 degrees, and usually around 37.2 degrees in the morning. After 15 days of hospitalization at Tianjin Children's Hospital, the cause of the fever was not found.

Doctor's answer:

It may be caused by tonsillitis, with antibiotic treatment as the main approach. Medications should be used in sufficient dosage and duration. Some traditional Chinese medicine oral preparations that clear heat and detoxify, as well as alleviate symptoms, can be used as adjunctive therapy. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and cold foods that are irritating during daily life. If the effect is not satisfactory, hospitalization for tonsillectomy may be considered for treatment.
