Patient's question:
The child is 5 years old with a sore throat, normal blood test results, and a fever in the afternoon of the same day. They have been on Azithromycin for three days and had a fever again two days later after a two-day break. Is it still necessary to check the blood test results?Previous treatment and effectiveness: Took Pulmicort, Azithromycin, and Yinhuang Granules for three days.
What help is needed: Whether it is still necessary to check the blood test results.
Doctor's answer:
Fever is a defensive response of the body, but excessive or prolonged fever can impair various regulatory functions of the body, thereby affecting health. You can check a few things, encourage the child to drink more cool boiled water or clean liquids, at least 300 milliliters per night, or use physical cooling methods, such as giving the child a warm bath, which helps in heat dissipation. The above suggestions are for the question "Does a 5-year-old with a sore throat need a blood test after taking medicine?" and hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
