Can a sore throat cause a fever?

Patient's question:

From last week, I occasionally coughed, which led to a sore throat this week, and now I have a high fever. I've had high fever for four or five nights in a row. The day before yesterday, I got an IV drip at the women's health clinic, and yesterday I got another one. Last night, I still had a high fever, and I'm also taking Xiao'er Fei Rè Ké Chuǎn Koufuye (Children's Lung Heat Cough and Asthma Oral Liquid) and Xiao'er Jie Gan Granules. Besides taking vitamin C, here is my past treatment history and effectiveness: Before last year, I took cefixime for a cough, and it worked. This time it's not effective. What kind of help do you need: Hello, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

It might be a high fever caused by tonsillitis. First, penicillin is decided to be used for anti-inflammatory treatment. The course of treatment is generally about seven days. Therefore, it is necessary to follow the treatment course to prevent the disease from recurring. For those with penicillin allergy, azithromycin or ceftriaxone sodium can be chosen for anti-inflammatory treatment. At the same time, traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying, such as Shuanghuanglian or Qingkailing, can be used.
