Patient's question:
The baby is 1.5 years old. Over the past two days, she has been coughing with phlegm, having clear nasal discharge, and slight nasal congestion. She has had a fever for three days. The night before yesterday, she had a fever of 39°C and was given fever-reducing suspension, which helped. Yesterday, she had another fever of 38.8°C all night, and this morning, she was given fever-reducing medicine again, but now she has a fever again. The doctor listened and said it was wheezing, likely bronchitis, and said they didn’t know if the medicine would work. They prescribed Jin Zhen oral liquid, Mahing Qingfei oral syrup, Cefalexin, and Ambroxol oral solution. I had to give her a lot of medicine. Now, what should I do? Is it okay for her to have repeated fevers like this? I’m also hesitant to give her fever-reducing medicine too often.Doctor's answer:
Considering the baby may have bronchitis, it is not ruled out that pneumonia has recurred. Blood tests including complete blood count, C-reactive protein, and Mycoplasma should be conducted. If Mycoplasma infection is detected, anti-inflammatory medication can be used in conjunction to thoroughly eliminate inflammation. Regardless of the medication used, it is essential to follow the doctor's guidance when administering it to the child. This will help the baby recover more quickly. Cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
