Patient's question:
The baby had a fever last Tuesday afternoon and went to the hospital. The blood test results showed slightly high levels. After coming back, the fever kept recurring. Yesterday afternoon, the fever subsided, but it returned at night with a temperature of 39°C. The baby has already taken fever-reducing medication. Should we go back to the hospital? The doctor said that since the baby hasn't been given an IV drip, we can just continue with medication.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to serve you. In your baby's condition description, the baby has had a fever for 3 days, with the highest temperature reaching 39 degrees. The hospital conducted a thorough examination and found high white blood cell count, suggesting a bacterial infection. It is recommended to take oral anti-infection treatment, drink more water for the baby, and use physical cooling methods. Avoid over-wearing to prevent interference with heat conduction. Today, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a follow-up visit to listen to the lungs and check for bronchitis or pneumonia, and to examine the myocardial enzymes to see if there is myocardial damage.
