Patient's question:
The child has had a fever for one year and ten months. Blood tests revealed Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection and myocarditis. On the first day of intravenous fluids, the fever began to subside, and the symptoms gradually improved. However, on the sixth day of intravenous treatment, the fever suddenly returned, and coughing also started. The child has been receiving continuous intravenous fluids. What could be the reason for this? How many more days of treatment will be needed approximately?Doctor's answer:
If the fever subsides after the first day of treatment and the condition gradually improves, it proves that the initial treatment was effective. If the fever returns after a few days of normal temperature, it may indicate a secondary infection. In such cases, it is recommended to check blood tests and other inflammatory markers.The above advice is for the question, "What should I do if my one-year-old child with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection has a fever?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
