Patient's question:
My daughter had a sudden high fever of 38.7 degrees Celsius the other night before her second birthday. We gave her fever-reducing medicine, and it worked. However, she got fever again at noon, so we gave her another dose of medicine. By the evening, the fever returned, and we gave her medicine again, which made it better.Treatment and Effect:
No previous treatment was mentioned.
Help Needed:
She is now fever-free, but yesterday she had a fever all day and broke out in a lot of sweat. Now she is weak all over and always sleeps. Can she drink some light salt water or take a bath to replenish her strength?
Doctor's answer:
Your condition is caused by a cold, with patients experiencing varying degrees of cough, phlegm production, decreased body temperature, and reduced appetite. This is often due to a weakened immune system after exposure to cold, leading to the transmission of bacteria, viruses, or mycoplasma. It is recommended to actively treat and prevent the condition.It is advised to pay attention to your baby's warmth, preventing colds, and drinking plenty of warm water. Before taking medication, it is best to visit the hospital for a thorough examination, including blood tests, sputum bacterial culture, drug sensitivity tests, and mycoplasma tests, to identify the specific pathogen, determine drug sensitivity, and then select appropriate treatment such as oral azithromycin or antiviral oral liquid. Drinking light salt water can help regulate electrolyte imbalances. I hope my explanation provides you with some help.
