Patient's question:
Child has a fever and cough for two days, after a urine test. The doctor prescribed traditional Chinese medicine. Just fevered at 38.9 degrees, even after taking fever-reducing medicine, it's still high fever. Feels like this doctor is a bit off-target with the medicine.Doctor's answer:
The common causes of fever in babies are viral or bacterial infections. The current blood test results suggest a bacterial infection. If the inflammation is not suppressed, the fever may recur repeatedly. It is recommended to take some anti-inflammatory medication. If the baby is not allergic to cephalosporins, it is suggested to take Cefixime granules twice a day. If there is an allergy, then Azithromycin granules can be taken orally. If the high fever does not subside, seek medical attention promptly.
