Hi,
My son is 5 and half years old.
He is suffering with continuous fever with 102 along with tonsils with pus.
Using paracetamol and antibiotics (IV){amikacin, cefadroxil } from last 5days. But fever is still continuing.
Is it normal to have fever for these many days even after giving paracetamol and antibiotics through IV
Child is suffering a lot with stomachache as well. .
Why stomachache is this much severe with tonsillitis.
Done with the ultrasound scan which is normal.
