Patient's question:
The boy started having a fever on 12.11 and was carefully examined for bronchopneumonia. He received intravenous fluids for seven days and took medicine at home for five days. On 12.22 evening, he started having a fever again, but his mental state was still okay and he wasn't coughing. On 12.24, his blood tests were done, and lung sounds were listened to. The doctor recommended taking three days of cefixime and then reassessing. Now, the child has high fever every 5-6 hours, with a peak temperature of 40°C, and low fever when it subsides. Physical cooling and Meclizine are being used. What should be done now?Doctor's answer:
The detailed blood test results of the child show bacterial infection, and the percentage of monocytes is also high. Considering the repeated occurrence of fever, it is recommended to check for mycoplasma antibodies to see if there is mycoplasma infection. Currently, the temperature remains between 39.0-40 degrees Celsius. It is possible to take Meilin orally, but it should not exceed four times within 24 hours. Herbal medicines such as Xiao'er Chai Gui Granules can also be taken, along with plenty of fluids. The above suggestions are for this issue. It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
