Patient's question:
The child started running a high fever last Saturday and had a slight cough. On Sunday, they went to the hospital and were diagnosed with bronchitis, receiving three days of ceftriaxone injections. The fever persisted throughout the middle period. By early Tuesday, the fever had subsided, and the cough began. Yesterday, they went back to the hospital for a follow-up check, where they were told that medication was not necessary and only drinking fluids was required. However, the fever returned last night, and the current temperature is 38.5°C. How should the situation be handled—should it be closely monitored, or is medication still needed?Doctor's answer:
I suggest that Amoxicillin combined with Benzafto tablets works well. Drink plenty of plain water and eat plenty of easily digestible foods. I suggest you drink more water, as it can help the body to regulate temperature, moisten the throat, and prevent or slow down the recurrence of coughing, which can help alleviate the discomfort the medication may cause to the body. The above is advice for the issue of "the child started having a high fever last Saturday." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
