Patient's question:
20-month-old baby · Repeated high fever caused by bacteria · Already received intravenous drips at the hospital · The drips contain saline, sugar, cephalexin, and vitamin · A week ago, it was just a cold · Starting from the evening 4 days ago, the baby began to have a fever of 38.6°C, which later rose to 39°C · Today at noon, the baby had another fever of 39.4°C · The fever reducer given was acetaminophen · After taking it, the fever subsided, but it keeps recurring.Doctor's answer:
Children with fever are often accompanied by infectious causes, with common reasons including viruses, bacteria, mycoplasma, and so on. Your child has been having recurrent fever, which may be due to insufficient suppression of infection.1. You mentioned that the blood test results were high, which suggests a possible bacterial infection. Additionally, given the previous cold and respiratory infection, the likelihood of these causes is greater.
2. I don’t know how many days of intravenous treatment your child has received. If the treatment duration is too short, it may not be effective. At least 3 days are needed for the medication to take full effect.
