Patient's question:
A 3-year-old child has had a fever for two days, ranging from 37°C to 38°C, and then up to 39.2°C. They went to the hospital for a fever-reducing injection and X-rays, which indicated acute laryngotracheitis. The impression mentioned pneumonia, but I don't know what that means. Although the doctor said it was pneumonia, it wasn't serious! However, the report stated acute laryngotracheitis, but the impression was pneumonia. They received injections for four days. On the first day of the drip, the fever stopped, but later they started coughing. Since yesterday until last night, they haven't coughed, and their throat has also improved! Tomorrow is the fifth day of the drip, and I wonder if it's time to finish.Doctor's answer:
Given the baby's condition, the illness is gradually improving. The symptoms are also gradually disappearing. On the fifth day, intravenous infusion may no longer be necessary. Under normal circumstances, antibiotics should be discontinued after three days. However, it is recommended to give the child more warm water and pay attention to preventing colds. The indoor humidity should be kept relatively constant. A light diet should be the foundation for the child, with a focus on fresh vegetables and fruits, while avoiding foods. Encourage the child to engage in outdoor activities more often. The above suggestions are for the question "A 3-year-old child has a fever for two days, with a temperature ranging from 37 to 38 degrees." It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
