Patient's question:
The baby is one year old and suddenly had a fever of 38.5°C at night. Cold compresses were applied, and lukewarm water was used to wipe the body. On the third day in the morning, the baby was diagnosed with the flu at the hospital. Three injections of Xiyanping were administered over two days, and a five-day course of Oseltamivir granules was prescribed. Today is the fifth day, and the medicine has been finished, but the baby still has repeated fever of 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 the blood routine and CRP, and conduct a Mycoplasma test. You can take some children's Leshuqing granules and children's Feike granules, and drink more water. If oseltamivir is taken in sufficient quantity for five days and the fever still recurs, it is recommended that the hospital perform a blood routine and CRP test, as well as a chest X-ray to assess the infectious condition. Antibiotics may be added if necessary.
