Patient's question:
At the beginning of the month, I had bronchopneumonia and was hospitalized for about ten days, discharged on the 11th. Upon returning home, I took antibiotics for three days. On the third night, I had a fever and went to the hospital, where it was diagnosed as a sore throat. I took pediatric Golden Qiao and antibiotics at home, and the fever subsided in two days, with no other symptoms. Yesterday, on the 23rd morning, I started coughing, and by evening, I had a fever of 38.6°C. I took fever-reducing medication, which lowered the fever, but it rose again to 39°C at night and reached 41°C in the morning.Doctor's answer:
The baby got pneumonia at the beginning of the month. Although the treatment took longer, it healed on its own. Yesterday, coughing and fever reappeared, with the highest temperature reaching 41 degrees Celsius. Blood tests showed low white blood cell count and normal C-reactive protein, indicating a viral infection. The baby can take Oseltamivir granules for antiviral treatment, Antiviral Oral Liquid for clearing heat and detoxification, and Phlegm-Expelling Syrup for clearing the lungs. It's important to drink plenty of water, and if the temperature rises above 38.5 degrees Celsius, the baby can take ibuprofen for fever reduction.
