The baby has a slight fever. A few hours after taking fever-reducing medication, the fever returns. I have now given the baby both fever-reducing and anti-inflammatory medications. Doctor, what should be done if the baby's fever is caused by inflamed tonsils?

Hello, tonsillitis in children is generally caused by weather changes, large temperature differences, and catching a chill, which lead to upper respiratory tract infections. Symptoms may include recurring fever, cough, phlegm production, and a dry throat. Anti-inflammatory medications such as Pudilan Xiaoyan Oral Liquid, Xiao'er Yanbian Granules, or Cefalexin Granules can be used to control the inflammation, along with fever-reducing medications such as Paracetamol Suspension for treatment. If the child also has a cough, cough-suppressing medications such as Ambroxol Hydrochloride Oral Solution may be given to help alleviate coughing and expel phlegm. I hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant day.
