Patient's question:
Question: One day, there was excessive supplementary feeding, and the child vomited a lot. Later that day, vomiting occurred even while changing diapers, but there was no fever or diarrhea. On the third day, the child suddenly developed a high fever, starting at 37.5°C in the afternoon, rising to 38.5°C, and then to 39.2°C at night. After taking ibuprofen suspension, the fever subsided somewhat, but it would drop and sometimes even rise above 40°C, accompanied by diarrhea. After receiving an antipyretic injection, the child had another fever in the afternoon of the third day, and developed a small white blister in the mouth. Urinalysis showed 41.5% lymphocytes, with other blood tests normal. Currently, the child is being treated with acyclovir and probiotics.Medical History and Treatment Effects: The child is a male, now 8 months old.
