Patient's question:
Baby is 1 year old. Suddenly had a fever of 38.5°C at night. Applied fever-reducing patches and wiped the body with warm water. On the third day in the morning, went to the hospital and was diagnosed with the flu. Received three injections of Xinyanping over two days and was prescribed a 5-day course of Oseltamivir granules. Today is the fifth day and the medicine has been finished, but the fever keeps recurring at 38°C, accompanied by coughing and clear nasal discharge. What should be done next?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the baby has recurrent fever, cough, and runny nose, and has been diagnosed with influenza. Given the baby's current condition, it is first necessary to check a blood test and CRP, and conduct a Mycoplasma test. You can take some children's heat-clearing granules and children's lung cough granules, and drink more water. If oseltamivir is taken in sufficient quantity for five days orally, except for recurrent fever, it is recommended that the hospital perform a blood test and CRP, and a chest X-ray to test for infection. Antibiotics may be added if necessary.
