Why can't the fever go down

Patient's question:

The boy has high fever seizures. He had one seizure at four years old, one at seven years old, one at nine years old, and one at ten years old. Each time, the seizure was triggered by a fever caused by a respiratory infection. This time, he has had a low-grade fever for a week and it's not a respiratory infection. The test results show weakly positive Mycoplasma. What should I do? It hasn't broken a fever yet after a week. Seeking help.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, it may be a viral infection combined with a bacterial infection, which can cause recurrent fever symptoms. Blood tests can be referred to for diagnosis. Currently, you can take medications like sodium meclofenamate and Yanhun to clear heat and detoxify, while also increasing fluid intake. Physical cooling methods are generally recommended for fever, and medication cooling can be used if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, such as using Motrin suspension.
