Patient's question:
The child has had a fever for one year and ten months. Blood tests revealed Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection and myocarditis. On the first day of intravenous fluids, the fever began to subside, and the symptoms gradually improved. However, on the sixth day of intravenous fluids, the fever suddenly returned, and coughing also started. The child has been continuously receiving intravenous fluids without stopping. What could be the reason for this? How many more days of treatment are approximately needed in this situation?Doctor's answer:
If the fever subsides after the first day of treatment and the condition gradually improves, it proves that the initial treatment was effective. If the fever returns after a few days of normal temperature, it may indicate a secondary infection. In that case, it is recommended to check blood tests and other inflammatory markers.The above advice is for the question, "What should I do if my one-year-old child with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection has a fever?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
