Patient's question:
The child is 3 years and 1 month old. Three days ago, they started having a fever. Blood tests revealed Mycoplasma infection. They were given enemas for 2 days and also took Amoxicillin and Xiao Chaihu. The fever subsided after 2 days, and they continued taking Amoxicillin and Xiao Chaihu for another day. Now, the child refuses to take any medicine, but they have already broken the fever and are in good spirits. Is it okay if they no longer drink the medicine?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child has a fever due to mycoplasma infection, which is more likely to be mycoplasma pneumonia.According to your description, the child has basically recovered, and the fever has subsided. If there has been no fever for two days, medication can be stopped. However, after stopping the medication, proper care should be taken to avoid the condition from recurring. If this happens, it will be more difficult to treat. Therefore, it is important to give the baby plenty of water to prevent the virus from re-entering.
