Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to ask why my child always has recurrent high fever. It has been several days since the fever started, and when we went to the hospital for a check-up, it was diagnosed as mycoplasma pneumonia. However, even after taking medication, the fever does not subside. The fever goes down when taking medicine but returns to high fever when the medicine is stopped. I would like to know what is going on and what medicine should be taken.Doctor's answer:
Since the diagnosis of your child's illness is quite clear, it is due to mycoplasma pneumonia that they are experiencing fever. They are currently receiving standard treatment at the local hospital. It is now considered that the lack of control over the condition has led to recurrent fever in the child. It is necessary to focus on treatment, report the child's condition to the attending physician, and consider switching to new medication if necessary. Additionally, the child should drink more water, rest well, and avoid getting cold.
