Patient's question:
Baby is 1 year old. Suddenly had a fever of 38.5°C at night. Applied fever reducer patches and wiped the body with warm water. On the third day in the morning, went to the hospital and was diagnosed with the flu. Received three injections of Xinyanping over two days. Prescribed a 5-day course of Oseltamivir granules. Today is the fifth day, and the medicine has been finished, but the fever still recurs at 38°C, accompanied by cough and clear nasal discharge. What should be done next?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the baby has repeatedly had fever, cough, and runny nose, and has been diagnosed with the flu. Given the baby's current condition, it is first necessary to check a blood test and CRP, and perform a Mycoplasma test. You can take some pediatric Leshuqing granules and pediatric Feike granules, and drink plenty of water. If oseltamivir is taken in sufficient quantity for five days and the fever still recurs, it is recommended to have blood tests and CRP, and a chest X-ray to check for infection. Antibiotics may be added if necessary.
