Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of fever is infection. If the fever lasts less than 48 hours or if other symptoms such as dry cough and vomiting reappear, along with lethargy, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a urine test to check for bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infection. Based on the results of the urine test, medication should be administered according to the symptoms. Additionally, the doctor should perform a lung auscultation or take a chest X-ray to check for pneumonia. If the fever persists for a long time, it is important to be alert to the possibility of EB virus infection. For suspected n7n9, it is necessary to go to an infectious disease hospital for relevant viral tests.
