Patient's question:
The child was playing well last night and around 9:30 PM, he himself shouted that he wanted to sleep. At 10:00 PM, I noticed he was a bit hot, and when I checked his temperature, it was 38.8°.What kind of help do you need: I'm a bit puzzled. He didn't go out during the day and showed no signs of discomfort, so how did he suddenly get a fever?
Doctor's answer:
The child's condition is primarily considered to have an upper respiratory infection. It is often caused by infections such as bacteria, chlamydia, mycoplasma, etc. Common symptoms include fever, difficulty breathing, cough, nasal congestion, and reduced appetite. It is recommended to visit the pediatric department of the hospital for blood tests, bacterial culture tests, and chest and abdominal scans to facilitate diagnosis. If diagnosed, medications such as azithromycin granules, dalifene granules, or amantadine granules can be taken for treatment.
