What should I do if my baby keeps having fever and feeling hot?

Patient's question:

Day three of a fever, acute respiratory infection, slightly elevated inflammatory markers. Took Azithromycin for two days, but the temperature keeps fluctuating. Currently taking Pu Dili Lan.

Doctor's answer:

The baby has recurrent high fever and needs to have blood tests again, including complete blood count, C-reactive protein, and many special pathogen antibodies, such as EB virus antibody, mycoplasma and chlamydia antibodies, tuberculosis antibody, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, etc. A lung CT scan should also be performed to check carefully. Pay attention to symptoms such as a strawberry tongue, conjunctivitis, and lymph node enlargement. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, oral ibuprofen should be used to reduce fever.
