Patient's question:
Fever, sore throat, cough, and IV drip for a day. On the third day at noon, it flared up again, reaching 38°C. Went to the hospital for a urine test, diagnosed with viral pharyngitis, no IV drip, prescribed many children's fever reducers, Jizhi Tangjiang, and many anti-inflammatory drugs. Coughs during the day, throat full of phlegm and soreness, yellow phlegm and nasal discharge indicating inflammation. Fever at night up to 38.9°C, still coughing. It has been two or three days in a row. Better during the day just coughing, but fever at night. Even took fever reducers and anti-inflammatories before bed, but it seems to have no effect.Doctor's answer:
You have a fever, cough, and sore throat. The intravenous infusion has not been effective for a day. Blood tests show a viral infection. You have been taking cough medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs, and fever-reducing drugs for three or four days, but the symptoms have not improved. You still have a cough, fever, and phlegm. Your nasal discharge and phlegm are yellow.It is recommended to take a chest X-ray to check for bronchitis. Also, pay attention to whether your bowel movements are dry. If they are dry and you cannot go to the bathroom, you may need to use an enema with glycerin to relieve constipation. Drink more water and eat more vegetables to keep your bowels moving regularly.
The chest X-ray diagnosis of bronchitis is best treated with intravenous fluids.
