my son who is 2.5  years old has high fever for last 10 days eventhough he has been administered with amoxyllin and panamex elixir on a doctors consultation.he was diagnosed with sore throat at first aand then on second visit doctor advised that it is an ear infection.please advise
Although tonsillitis can present with fever, sore throat and ear infection, clinical examination is required to confirm the diagnosis. The infection could be bacterial (Strep throat) or viral (as in mono or infectious mononucleosis). Since the fever is lasting for more than 10 days, I insist talking to your doctor about getting a Tidal test done to rule out typhoid as a possible cause. Paracetamol has to be given to bring down the temperature. Steam inhalation should provide relief.
