Patient's question:
The child is 2.5 years old. The day before yesterday, they started having a fever. They went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, had blood tests, and had their throat examined, which was found to be red and swollen. They were prescribed cephalexin and Xiao'er Jin Qiao Granules. It has been three days now, and the fever is still fluctuating, staying around 37℃ during the day without fully subsiding. There are no cough symptoms. The child keeps complaining of toothache, and it was found that they have canker sores in their mouth. Why is the fever still not gone?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help clarify this issue for you. According to your description, your baby has been having a fever for these few days, accompanied by toothache and oral ulcers. Given your situation, you haven't given your baby any fever-reducing medication. From the blood test results you sent, it appears your baby has inflammation, which has led to a decrease in white blood cells. I recommend you focus on medication treatment or intravenous treatment. The above is my advice on this issue, and I hope it helps you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
