Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what it means if red spots appear on the body on the third day after the fever goes down?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be caused by a viral infection, for which there is no specific treatment. The main approach is supportive therapy and symptomatic treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used, as herbal remedies may have some efficacy in alleviating symptoms of viral diseases and shortening the course of the illness. For mild infections, anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken. If there is cough or phlegm, Fresh Bamboo Juice Oral Liquid or Xia'er Ma Gan Granules can be used for treatment. In severe cases, intravenous fluid therapy is recommended. It is also necessary to be alert to mycoplasma infection.
