Patient's question:
The baby had a stomachache for half a month, and after about four or five days of recovery, he was given some oily food. Starting that night, he began to have a fever. Blood tests showed no high indicators, and the doctor couldn't determine the exact cause. The fever has lasted for two or three days, and after the fever-reducing medicine wears off, it comes back again, with the temperature fluctuating between 37.8 and 39.5. There is a bit of diarrhea. What could be the reason, and how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
After the baby had diarrhea, they developed persistent fever and also experienced nausea and vomiting. Since the blood test showed normal white blood cell count, there is a possibility of a viral infection or a mixed infection. Antiviral oral liquid, ibuprofen suspension, and cefixime can be given for symptomatic treatment. Drinking more water and using physical cooling methods can also be considered. Rest and closely monitor the changes in the condition.
