Patient's question:
My sister has had a low fever for three days. Her temperature drops after taking medicine, but it comes back up when the medicine wears off. She has been taking medicine, but she still feels cold all over.Previous treatment and effectiveness: She took fever-reducing medicine, got an injection yesterday, and still has a low fever today.
What kind of assistance is needed: How can her fever be reduced?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend. I suggest you ask the doctor to add antipyretic medication to the intravenous drip. Additionally, pay attention to oral traditional Chinese medicine for the child. If oral administration is not possible, coordinate with traditional Chinese medicine enemas. You can also give the child oral safflower powder to reduce fever. Generally, when administering intravenous fluids, it's best to maximize fluid intake. Also, drink more water regularly. I recommend checking the child's blood tests, including complete blood count (CBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin, myocardial enzymes, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and other tests, to see if there are any other conditions causing fever or complications, such as myocarditis. If necessary, combine with anti-infection medication for treatment. If the child's mental state is still good, there's no need to worry excessively. I hope this helps.
