Patient's question:
The child is 6 months old and has had a fever repeatedly for two days, around 39 degrees. They went to the hospital for a urine test, and the doctor said it was a bacterial infection. When the temperature reached 38.5 degrees, they were given medicine to reduce fever and detoxify, which could lower the temperature, but it always comes back. They were also given anti-inflammatory medicine, but it doesn't seem to be working well. How long does a bacterial infection take to heal, and is it normal to have repeated fever? What else should I do? I have collected many heat-clearing and detoxifying, as well as anti-inflammatory medicines. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the repeated fever is mainly caused by a bacterial infection. As long as the inflammation is not effectively suppressed, the fever will recur. In this case, it is recommended to focus on and take anti-inflammatory drugs. For example, Cefixime granules, combined with herbs that clear heat and detoxify, and drink plenty of water. If the anti-inflammatory drugs are not effective after two doses, increase to three doses, one every eight hours. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
