Patient's question:
I am the mother of the baby. On October 3rd, I had tonsillitis and a sore throat. On the 7th, at around 3 a.m., I had a fever of over 39 degrees Celsius and couldn't go to the hospital for emergency treatment. I received cefalexin and intravenous fever-reducing injections! The doctor said it was caused by a viral cold! It has already improved now! The baby, who stopped breastfeeding for three days, suddenly had a fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius this morning, and she already had a slightly inflamed throat. I went to the hospital, and the blood test results also showed it was viral. The doctor prescribed pediatric cefalexin and Qingre Jiedu oral liquid. After coming home, the baby's temperature fluctuated between high and low. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The baby's symptoms are recurring fever, accompanied by a sore throat, and the symptoms also fluctuate. This is more likely to be considered a viral cold. For this situation, it is recommended that you focus on medication for the baby now. Viral colds indeed have a certain course of treatment, and during the treatment process, you must pay attention to preventing the baby from catching a cold. The current fluctuating temperature requires you to focus on hydration. Try to use physical cooling methods as much as possible.
