Infant pneumonia, intravenous drip for fifteen days without improvement, how to solve

Patient's question:

Today the body temperature is 37.7, what should I do? It has been half a month since the intravenous drip and it hasn't gotten better. I haven't been feverish, but today it's 37.7. Seeing the child getting the intravenous drip, my heart is broken.

Doctor's answer:

In this case, if the baby experiences a recurrence of high fever, is it due to catching a cold again or a drug-induced fever? Therefore, we need to pay close attention and carefully observe the baby's condition. Generally, for infant pneumonia, intravenous fluid and anti-inflammatory treatment can lead to improvement and self-recovery. So, if the baby's condition worsens, it is recommended to transfer to a hospital for further examination and then proceed with treatment.
For high fever, physical cooling methods can be used without the need to take fever-reducing medication. Generally, fever-reducing medication should only be taken if the temperature is below 38°C.
