Patient's question:
The child is now 5 and a half months old. On the 24th, a careful check showed CRP below 20. After taking medicine at the county hospital without improvement, they were transferred to the city hospital. Another careful check then showed it dropping to over 130. The child has been having high fever. What could be the reason? Thank you, doctor.Doctor's answer:
From the test report, considering viral infection, it can also cause fever, and attention should be paid to ruling out mycoplasma pneumonia. Repeated fever is related to viral infection. During the flu season, people who are sick may come into contact with the virus by touching others or visiting public places, which may lead to transmission. Generally, fever persists for three to five days. For the flu, oseltamivir can be taken, and fever-reducing drugs should be used according to symptoms. It is recommended that the baby drink more water and receive standardized, symptom-based treatment according to the prescribed course.
