Patient's question:
The child is 6 years old and has been experiencing recurrent fever. The white blood cell count is high. They have been receiving injections at the hospital for six days, and the doctor suspects Mycoplasma. Many tests have been conducted, but the fever persists. What kind of help is needed: What is the actual disease?Doctor's answer:
Children often get fever due to infections, with common causes including viruses, bacteria, mycoplasma, and so on. If a child has recurring fever, it is recommended to pay attention to their throat condition, check their blood test results to confirm whether it is a viral or bacterial infection, and provide additional anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications. For mild cases, oral medication can be used. If the fever persists after taking oral medication for more than 3 days, it is best to administer intravenous fluids. The baby should rest well, drink plenty of fluids, and have a light diet.
