Doctor's answer:

This condition is a manifestation of bacterial infection. Based on experience, it typically requires intravenous treatment, usually starting with cephalosporins or penicillin. The baby's blood test results are quite high, so it is recommended to receive intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment for a faster recovery. Oral medication may not be as effective. Generally, treatments such as Ceftriaxone and Ribavirin can be administered. The course of treatment usually lasts about 3-5 days.
