How to deal with recurrent fever in baby girls

Patient's question:

Female, five months old, has had repeated fever for three days, with a high of 39.8°C, normal blood test results, runny nose, phlegm in the throat, and generally good spirits. She has been taking cold medicine and azithromycin. Besides clearing the lungs and cooling the blood, the child vomited severely yesterday and was given an enema at the health center. After returning home, she hasn't had a fever anymore? I'm wondering if the medicine worked so quickly might have side effects on the baby. The doctor even suggested another enema today, saying it would help the child recover faster...

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, I couldn't understand if the enema medication is a fever reducer. If it is a fever reducer, oral medication also needs to be taken with focus. As for side effects, they are common with any medication, and the key is to weigh the pros and cons. Pay attention to giving the baby more water, and use a humidifier at home if necessary. The above advice is for the question "Female, 5 months old, fever for three days," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
