Patient's question:
The child is 2.5 years old. Two days ago, 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, with daytime temperatures around 37℃ but not fully coming down. 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 going away?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you with this question. According to your description, your baby has been having a fever these days, accompanied by toothache and mouth ulcers. Given your situation, you haven't given your baby any fever-reducing medication. From the blood test results you provided, it appears your baby has inflammation, which has led to a decrease in white blood cells. I suggest you focus on medication treatment or intravenous treatment. The above is my advice on this matter, and I hope it helps you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
